For two and a half decades, Laith has served as the Wealth Advisor to affluent families and foundations. He is familiar with their complex challenges and can tap into the company’s broad array of resources and specialists to design the solutions to address them.

In 2011, Laith earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation, having met the rigorous experience and ethical requirements of the CFP Board. In 2019, Laith completed the elite Certified Private Wealth Advisor® program, administered by the Investments and Wealth Institute® and taught in conjunction with the Yale School of Management, focusing on ultra-high-net-worth client strategies. 

Laith is a proud Buckeye, having graduated with an undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University. He had the honor of being chosen as the keynote speaker for the Cohort Honors Program for the 100-year anniversary of the Fisher College of Business.

Laith has a strong commitment to helping the Central Ohio community, formerly serving as Chairman of the Better Business Bureau’s Foundation and Chairman of Grant Hospital’s Development Board. He and his wife, Beth, are also steadfast advocates for abandoned and abused animals and finance the Good Samaritan Fund.

Laith is very competitive, disciplined, and uncompromising in the pursuit of excellence. He carries this “Champion Mindset” into his personal life and specifically while competing in jiujitsu. Hard work, dedication, and focusing on surrounding himself with the best coaches and training partners has produced tangible results as he’s become a three-time Pan American Champion and in 2023 ranked #1 in his division by winning the IBJJF Master World Championship.

Laith could not have accomplished any of this without an amazing team and the support of his “foundation”, his wife, Beth.
