Our Team

Colin began his career in financial advising in 2009 and found his passion in helping clients accomplish their financial dreams. In February of 2019, he and Michael Goldenberg formed AFIN Family Wealth Management to be an independent, financial planning-based advisory firm. They share the goal of elevating the customer experience through comprehensive planning and peerless customer service. Colin is dedicated to providing his clients with the tools, education, and structure needed for them to accomplish their life’s goals. He specializes in holistic financial planning and feels that it is imperative for a plan to integrate all aspects of financial resource and risk management- retirement readiness, investment management, insurance coverage (including long term care), tax management, estate planning, and all other intricacies of a client’s financial life.

Colin graduated with honors with a BA/BS from The Ohio State University. After graduation, he moved to Chicagoland and fell in love with his adoptive home. When not directing his energies to his client’s financial success, Colin enjoys spending time with his children, Alice and Finnegan. He also loves to cook (and more importantly eat) excellent food, enjoy live music,  is an avid reader, an enthusiastic football fan, and marathon runner pursuing a goal of running a race in all 50 states.

"I have two goals when I get to the office in the morning. First, I want to make sure that my clients are comfortable with their financial situation and on the path to reach their financial goals. Second, I want to make sure that our advisors have the knowledge, tools, and systems around them to provide financial planning and wealth management services to the best of their ability". - Michael

My journey into the field of finance was driven by a genuine desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals and families. I understand that financial well-being is not just about numbers; it is about helping achieve life goals, dreams, and financial confidence. Since beginning my career in finance, I have gained a great appreciation for helping clients reach their financial goals. 

Before joining AFIN Family Wealth Management, I worked as a Client Associate at Merrill Lynch. Prior to my time at Merrill, I worked as a teacher and coach for the Chicago Public Schools. I graduated from Loras College in 2014 where I played four years of college baseball. I also received my Master’s Degree in Health Administration, but recently decided to step away from teaching to begin a new career in finance.
