Why I Love My Job
It really is the people I get to work with on a regular basis. From my colleagues in the HH offices around the country, to the clients we interact with and build meaningful relationships with along the way, the most rewarding aspects of being a team member at HH are the various people I am lucky enough to interact with each and every day.

He says, “I listen to clients’ concerns and needs to help them make informed decisions regarding their overall financial plan and assist them in determining the optimal path to achieve their goals.”
Ross joined Halbert Hargrove in 2011. His favorite aspect of his work? His interactions with clients. “I’m able to learn what truly drives them—and what they plan to do with the wealth they have created.” Ross also values the ongoing opportunity to be challenged by his peers and to continue to learn and advance professionally.
