What is something people in the financial world have to deal with that you want to fix?
Professional Athletes have a very demanding occupation. Their lifestyle and day to day expenses / needs are typically different than others. The nuances of their contracts and changing of residency is something unique to a professional athlete. Having a clear Financial Plan and support team in place that is exclusive to their lifestyle allows the player to focus on their craft, loved ones and future.
What do you do at Bridge?
As a Wealth Manager under Bridge Sports Wealth I work closely with athletes to ensure that both they and their families reach financial success.
What are your credentials/past experience, for working in your position?
Prior to joining Bridge Sports Wealth, I was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies. In my off seasons, I worked part time at Morgan Stanley before leaving for every February for Spring Training in Florida. Once my career with the Phillies came to an end and prior to joining Bridge Sports Wealth, I joined Morgan Stanley full time as a Financial Advisor. These experiences have helped me understand both sides of a professional athlete’s life.
