Tell us about yourself and your family.

I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH.  I graduated from John Carroll University in 2013 with a major in Economics.  Columbus has been my home for over 6 years, and I love it here.  I currently live in Grove City with my fiancée.  We are eagerly looking forward to getting married in the next year.

Why did you pursue a career in finance?

This industry always intrigued me because money affects everyone whether they are interested in it or not.  It’s rewarding working with individuals who are looking to simply confirm that they are on the right track or even someone more novaturient looking to roll their sleeves up together.  I enjoy solving puzzles and organizing layers of intricacy.

What is your role at Antolino & Associates?

As an advisor on the team, I deliver value to individuals who have a future brighter than their past.  I am a financial coach who helps clients reach goals through hortative guidelines and advice.  Whether it’s a simple change in asset allocation, or connecting fellow like-minded individuals, my role is solely focused on helping individuals get what they want out of life.  To deepen my expertise within the craft, I have attained certifications like the CFP®, Series 7, 66, and Life & Health licenses.  I am constantly in the pursuit of the next credential to sharpen my skillset.  

What might we catch you doing for fun on the weekend?

I would consider myself a car enthusiast because if I’m not detailing my cars, I am modifying them.  I am also a member of the Athletic Club of Columbus, so I spend a considerable amount of time working out or socializing.  My goal is to be the best version of myself, so I enjoy trying new routines, mindsets, and workouts.  Lately I have consumed a handful of exceptional growth focused books such as “The Psychology of Money” and “Start With Why.”  What’s a good book you’ve read recently?
