My main goals in life are to make heaven crowded, love my wife, and expand my comfort zone every day. I was born in Seoul, South Korea but moved to Minnesota with my family at the age of 7. My wife’s story is also very similar. She is a Russian born in Israel who moved to Minnesota at the age of 6. We’ve got a lot of culture between the two of us, which is why we’re very passionate about experiencing the diversity in our world. In my free time, I also enjoy cooking, camping, helping with kid’s ministry, building computers, and trying to learn Russian and Hebrew (key word trying).

Being multicultural is why I love finance so much. It is its own culture with a complete language, value system, and institutions. Navigating the world of finance is like navigating a new country. Its cities are the important milestones such as first home, sending children off to college, and retirement. On your own, the journey may be daunting. But it can be accomplished with the right tools. My purpose is to be just that, a financial GPS for my clients. They tell me where they are, where they want to get to, and I figure out the path. And just like a GPS, I alert them of upcoming turns, warn them of accidents, and even reroute if I have to.
