Navigating the unknown future can be daunting, especially when starting a family and a career. My journey began with high hopes, faced significant challenges, and ultimately led to a fulfilling career in financial advising. This is my story of finding purpose through adversity.
I graduated from college and got married just before the world changed with the 9/11 attacks. The dot-com bubble burst and the subsequent 2001 recession dried up promising career opportunities. Despite the overwhelming and uncertain times, I felt excited to pursue my dream of becoming a Special Agent in the Secret Service, following in the footsteps of my father and grandfather.
I soon realized that the demands of a growing family required a different path
Moving to Chicago to chase this dream, I soon realized that the demands of a growing family required a different path. I seized an opportunity with a pharmaceutical company in Madison, WI, which offered financial security, professional growth, and a balanced life. Despite these advantages, something crucial was missing: fulfillment.
The birth of my third child, Jachin, in 2007 marked a turning point. He was born with rare disorders—Sturge-Weber Syndrome and Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome. His condition required extensive medical care and resulted in major seizures. Balancing his healthcare needs, raising two other children, and managing work was incredibly stressful, forcing me to reevaluate my career choices.
I committed to this new career, driven by the desire to assist people in achieving their financial goals
I turned to financial advising, inspired by friends who thrived in the profession by helping others. I committed to this new career, driven by the desire to assist people in achieving their financial goals while finding personal fulfillment in the process.
