Sam joined the Runyan Capital team in Beverly Hills after moving to Los Angeles from Kansas City in 2019. Sam graduated with his Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Kansas State University. With his original area of emphasis being Computer Science, Sam changed his major after taking an introductory Finance course, a subject that he always knew was important, but at the time, he knew little about. This course sparked his curiosity about the world of finance and demonstrated how it affects our everyday lives. With more than 8 years of industry experience and a technical background, Sam has become proficient in implementing new systems to achieve great results for clients.

In his free time, Sam can usually be found going for a run, visiting a museum, or carrying his girlfriend’s photo equipment while she’s getting the perfect shot.
