“I’m excited for the challenge of leading this great firm as its next Managing Partner. It is truly a privilege to work alongside our great group of partners and staff, and I’m grateful for the opportunity and humbled by their trust in me. We have a fantastic team that fills me with pride and motivation every single day.  

I want to thank Neil Weber, as he transitions from the Managing Partner role to his new role as a Senior Consultant. Neil has been a fantastic leader of our firm for the past decade and will continue to provide invaluable leadership and insight for us. I’m grateful for the support and mentorship he has provided to me as we transition our roles.

I also want to thank my family, friends, and clients of our firm for their support throughout my entire career, along with the many great leaders and tremendous role models that have helped shape me and the firm to where we are today.  I look forward to the responsibility of carrying on that legacy and continuing to build on our success as a team.”
