Atticus was born and raised in Vancouver, BC, with one sabbatical year as a third grader in Versailles, France. His childhood weekends were spent playing soccer and skiing at Whistler Mountain. Dinner-table conversations with his father, a finance professor at UBC, sparked an early interest in finance and investing, an interest that has grown further in the Honours in Investment Management program. In his free time, Atticus explores new hikes, cheers for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Liverpool FC, and listens to classic 80s rock.
