When I was 17, my grandfather took me aside and said, “Kevin, study money. You will always have work and you can make a real difference in people’s lives.” In the years that followed, I reflected on his advice and began to understand the importance of relationships and trust. I discovered that by putting an emphasis on personal relationships, I built trust. And with trust, I was able to help make a significant impact for those around me. This focus on client relationships allowed me to grow my practice in the tumultuous times of the 2007-2009 financial crisis.

Having moved to Traverse City in 2000 from the Detroit area, I was also aware of the impact that Northern Michigan has on the people who live, work and play “Up North.” But the big city-based large firms I worked for over the following 15 years didn’t fully understand this important sense of place. I wanted to stay true to my grandfather’s advice—which lead to my passion for markets and solving client problems—and match it with the fit and feel of Traverse City. This lead me to depart from the large firm and choose an independent channel for our practice. At Elemint Wealth Management, we offer the solutions and resources of a large firm—due to the backing of our clearing firm, LPL Financial, and partners at Private Advisor Group—with the friendly service and personal relationships you come to expect in your favorite small town.

I believe in giving back to the community. I serve on the board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Michigan and as a mite hockey coach for the Grand Traverse Area Hockey Association. I’m married with two wonderful kids and enjoy golf, hockey and reading in my spare time.

When I was 13, my obsession with the stock market began. Once I learned that I could make money from owning pieces of paper, I was hooked. I spent four summers of my teenaged life watching and trading stocks. I built my business during the financial crisis by helping my clients stay calm and make rational decisions. It is my belief that chaos creates opportunities and I work hard with my clients to help them attain the best financial possibilities.

A native of Traverse City, I am passionate about the city in which I was raised. I am a board member of the Old Town Playhouse and a member of the Traverse City Economic Club. My wife and I live 5 doors down from my childhood home on Old Mission Peninsula with our two boys (Austin & Owen) and daughter (Ava). In my spare time I enjoy reading, boating, fishing, playing basketball and traveling with family and friends.

I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio but spent my summers at my grandparents’ summer home located on the West Bay of Lake Michigan, directly between Omena and Northport. I always swore to myself at the end of every summer spent “up north”, during that long haul back to Cincinnati, that someday, I’d make this place my home. And upon graduating from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in 2008, that’s exactly what I did.

I bring with me 13 years of experience in the Financial Services Industry. Prior to joining Elemint Wealth Management, I worked at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney and Wells Fargo Advisors where I obtained my Series 7 and Series 66 licensing exams. While my experience at these larger firms was invaluable, I yearned for something more intimate where I could deepen my relationships with clients and grow my career. Elemint Wealth Management was the perfect fit. It’s the best of both worlds—you get the resources and backing of a large firm (we clear through LPL Financial and partner with Private Advisor Group) with the more relationship oriented, local feel of a boutique firm. Win – win!

My family is my greatest joy and highest priority in my life. I currently reside in Long Lake with my husband, our children (Hudson and Margaux) and our two Pugs (Stella and Phoebe). I am actively involved in volunteering at my daughter’s elementary school.  Outside of school and work, I enjoy reading, camping, traveling and various sporting activities.
