As part of Rightsell & Company LLC, my duties and responsibilities will be to directly help the firm facilitate business growth, organically and inorganically.

Starting at an early age, my interest in investments and finance started when I began “investing” with my uncle’s help at age 13. In addition to being a graduate of Miami University with degrees in Diplomacy & Foreign Affairs, Political Science, History & Economics, I have enjoyed 25 years of experience in the Financial Service Industry collaborating with Individuals as well as businesses and foundations. Growth & Development being at my core tenants, I humbly mention having earned the Certified Retirement Counselor Designation; I also have the following licenses: Life & Health and Series 6, 63, & 65 securities registrations.

Lastly, I enjoy spending my free time working out, gardening, reading, and attending concerts. My wife Kristen and I live with our two daughters, Marisa & Lauren.

As the Chief Investment Officer at Rightsell & Company, LLC., I am responsible for ensuring that our clients receive effective advice when it comes to investment due diligence and research. In addition to counseling, I provide portfolio management for the team as well.

Growing up in a small factory town in northern Indiana, I learned the importance of challenging work from my parents who worked multiple jobs to provide for our family. My passion for athletics led me to receive a full basketball scholarship, but an injury forced me to shift my focus towards academics.

In my free time, I am always reading about investing and analyzing economic data. I am constantly striving to learn more about the industry and improve my skills as a CIO. However, I still manage to keep my athletic side alive and well, as I enjoy exercising and following professional football.

One of my biggest desires is to have influence in supporting the STEM discipline. It runs in my family - my grandfather was an engineer for GM, my mother is a math teacher, and my sister is currently working towards her PhD in Nuclear Physics. I see the immense value in promoting STEM in public education and I am committed to doing my part to support it.

Overall, I am dedicated to helping our clients achieve their financial goals and providing them with sound investment advice. It is my pleasure to serve as the CIO at RJ Beucler Financial and I look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the financial industry.
