Born and raised in north Kansas City, my first foray into business was mowing lawns in high school so I didn't have to get a real job. I went to college at Notre Dame - applying only because we have some Irish in our family. While there I studied finance and psychology and ran a business selling pizza bagels. After galivanting through Europe and seeing the world while studying abroad, I graduated and ended up moving back to KC about three blocks from where I grew up. I joined Lockton's newly formed M&A team, providing due diligence on employee benefit and retirement programs for private equity clients. After 6+ years building that practice and gaining a mastery of the M&A space, I realized it was time for a new challenge and joined the Virtus team. I'm sure there's more and I'm anything but shy, so feel free to ask me anything!
