What I Do
I specialize in helping mid-career professionals navigate the money, career, and family tradeoffs that come with this stage of life.
As a 40-year-old father of two, I understand the challenges of raising a family while balancing career obligations. Weighing the many tough choices that come with living a good life today and saving for the future.
I also spent nearly two decades in corporate senior roles leading engineering, product, and data science teams before becoming a financial advisor. I know what tough career decisions look like financially and emotionally.
Why I Started Kangpan & Co.
I was shocked by my first experience searching for a financial advisor. It was 2018 and I had finally reached the point where I thought things were complex enough to need professional help.
Instead of objective, thoughtful advisors I encountered sales people pushing products. And generic “strategies” that had nothing to do with the questions I asked or the life I wanted to build for my family.
I decided I would need to start the kind of firm I wanted because it didn’t exist. Thoughtful and proactive guidance. As much of a focus on the emotional side of big decisions as the financial ones. Flat fees. No hidden commissions.
Outside of Work
I live in the Philadelphia suburbs with my lovely wife Sheila. We spend our weekends exploring the nearby parks and historic towns with our two young children. I also love trying new foods. If I see something on a menu I’ve never had before you can bet that’s what I’ll be ordering!
I also seem to be fond of wearing various blue shirts with collars, something I never noticed before until posting the pictures below.
