At age 29, Nick LoManto led a busy life. He was moving up in his job as a manager of investment analysts at the financial services firm, Vanguard. At home, he and his wife were settling into their marriage and starting to think about growing their family. “There I was, a finance professional with every gift a person could wish for,” he told me. But despite all he was building, LoManto couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing.
