3 Questions with Financial Advisor, Ethan Lindbloom

As First Vice President / Wealth Management at The Lindbloom Group, our friend Ethan Lindbloom enjoys the challenges of an ever-changing investment landscape. Also an avid cyclist, Ethan co-founded Outpost Richmond, a bike shop and market in Richmond's Westover Hills neighborhood. Their mission is to cultivate and support local partnerships as well as promote healthy living. We catch up with him for this week's installment of 3 Questions.

If you weren’t a financial advisor, what would you be doing?
