Vince is the Founding Principal at RISE, serving as Chief Operating Officer and co-chair of RISE's Investment Committee. In this role, he is responsible for the company's business operations, service line offerings, steering RISE's vision and growth, and alternative investment manager/fund selection. He is committed to fostering an innovative and client success focused culture to help bring prosperity and well-being to everyone involved in RISE's ecosystem.

Also serving as a full-time Wealth Advisor, Vince provides financial planning advice and manages investment portfolios for his clients. He enjoys working with and helping clients/families of all shapes and sizes. In addition to providing his clients with best-in-class solutions to help them achieve their goals and maximize their wealth, he places an extraordinary amount of effort on delivering a superior, white-glove client service experience.

Being a life-long guru of investing and methods to achieve financial freedom and success, Vince founded RISE in February 2019 as a part-time endeavor to provide tax and cost-efficient investment management and financial solutions to his friends and family members. In November 2024, he transitioned to focus his full-time efforts on RISE. Before dedicating his career to RISE, Vince spent seven years in the real estate private equity industry at Origin Investments. During that tenure, he built-out and led the company's business development and investor relations team, was a key contributor to the company's 5x growth over that time period, and served over 1,000 high-net-worth individual clients; providing education and investment solution recommendations to help them achieve their financial goals and objectives. Prior to Origin, Vince began his financial and investment career at Duff & Phelps, a leading global valuation and corporate finance advisor. At Duff & Phelps, he was a member of the Valuation Advisory group where he focused on detailed business enterprise valuation for use in the corporate acquisition process.

Vince earned his Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Kent State University and his Master of Science degree in Corporate Finance and Real Estate from The Ohio State University. Vince resides in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago with his wife, Jackie, and their mini Bernedoodle, Fonzie. Outside of the office, Vince enjoys spending time with his family, being productive with home improvements, traveling, skiing, boating, and golfing.
