First and foremost, I am a husband to a beautiful wife and a father to three fabulous kids. I grew up in a small town in west-central Nebraska (Husker Power) and went to the University of Kansas for undergrad (Rock Chalk Jayhawk). Prior to joining Virtus, I spent 4 years in consulting at Deloitte, went back to law school in Chicago and then practiced corporate and M&A law in KC and Minneapolis for 5 years which was followed by a short stint in Investment Banking. At Virtus, I am the Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel. We now live in Minneapolis to be close to family and I travel back to KC or the other Virtus offices every other week. I love spending time with my family, cooking, golfing and traveling (albeit the last 3 things happen much less frequently with the kids).
