A few additional facts about Tom:
· Favorite part about being at Osborne Partners: “Guiding clients through a process to help them make an important decision. I really enjoy working together, going through the process, pulling everything together, and arriving at a thoughtful decision that everyone feels great about."
· Why Tom got into the business: “Towards the end of time as a management consultant, I had a number of international clients & spent a lot of time on airplanes. This is before inflight wi-fi and power for laptops – so there was plenty of time for self-reflection. And while l enjoyed consulting, I didn’t love it. I recognized the things I was really passionate about are: 1. Client relationships; 2. Personal finance; 3. The financial markets. And the profession that is a perfect blend of all three, is a financial advisor. I made the change a while back and it’s the best professional decision I ever made.”
· Favorite hobby: “I love to play basketball. My body definitely hurts more than it used to but I still love to play in ‘age appropriate’ basketball leagues and the occasional game of pickup.”
· Best part about being a new dad: “At 1.5 years old, Grace is healthy, happy, and already a better dancer than her dad. She is learning something new every day. It is the absolute best.”
