Back to Team
We founded Empathic Wealth Partners with a core belief: financial advice starts with listening. Clients come to us with goals, questions, fears, and dreams—and our role is to meet them with empathy, not ego. We seek to help simplify complexity, provide thoughtful perspective, and build strategies that reflect not just wealth, but values and life priorities.
At Empathic, our advice is informed by deep technical knowledge, but it’s grounded in human connection. We walk alongside our clients through transitions, helping them feel seen, supported, and empowered in every decision.
My wife Melanie and I are raising three young children—Colin, Josie, and Nora—which means our free time is usually spent at baseball games, soccer fields, swim meets, or ballet rehearsals. When we can get away, we love skiing in Tahoe and visiting Bavaria, Germany where Melanie grew up. I also have a lifelong love of live music and always appreciate a good show that makes you feel something.
