Christian in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

I enjoy working out and spending time with my wife, Kaitlynn, and daughter, Penelope, usually dancing or exploring Connecticut. You can also catch us reading books together or traveling.

How do you give back?

I had the opportunity to receive several scholarships in college, which afforded me the privilege to grow both personally and professionally. These opportunities have been a blessing, and I take the knowledge learned from each to share with others who are less fortunate, whether it be through pro bono financial planning, coaching youth athletics, or simply helping someone in a time of need.
