For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a numbers nerd. Growing up, we had a small chalkboard propped up against the wall. Instead of scribbling random shapes, I would have my parents give me math problems to solve. (Don’t worry – I don’t do my math on a chalkboard anymore!). I started my career in financial services fresh out of college when I was hired at a boutique wealth management firm just outside of Boston. It was there that I quickly fell in love with financial planning. To me, it is the perfect blend of nerdy, technical, problem-solving, spreadsheet analysis and touchy-feely, meaningful, life-changing relationship work. I have always considered myself lucky to have found this profession when I didn’t even know I was looking for it. What better calling can there be than to help guide people in using their money to live their most deeply significant and fulfilling lives? I spent more than 18 years of my career with firms that only worked with individuals and families that had substantial wealth. In short, you already needed to have achieved financial success to get access to our advice! While I have always loved my work and the clients I helped, I could never shake the feeling that there was something missing. Instead of only working with people who already had wealth, I wanted to work with people to help them build it. As a result, Katapult Financial Planning was born.
