Colin in real life
What makes you tick?
I love helping people connect the dots between their money and what matters most to them.
What keeps you busy outside of work?
Spending time with my wife and our two kids. We live in a walkable suburb of St. Louis, where we’re close to family and enjoy things like jazz festivals, local restaurants, and being part of the community.
Any words you try to live by?
“Put your oxygen mask on first.” If you take care of yourself — your finances, health, values — you’ll be in a much better position to take care of others. ”
