“Pass it On” appears on my grandfather’s headstone. He lived this virtue, constantly finding ways to help others around him, often anonymously. My parents instilled in me the notion to “Leave it better than you found it.” Both these sentiments serve as guiding principles for me.

He spent 10 years with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, working with high-net-worth individuals on legacy planning with complex assets. Ethan also served as a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch as a private wealth strategist.
