First Vice President - Financial Advisor, Portfolio Director Group
I am nothing if not a good listener. Knowing my clients and understanding their hopes and dreams, for themselves and for their families, is one of the most important services that I provide. I realize that this is not a new concept. But, in this high-tech world of speed and efficiency, taking the time to stop, listen, and plan is more important than ever. As I listen, I help my clients develop a financial road map that will become the cornerstone of their fiscal house. It will tell me where you are now, where you want to be, and how you are going to get there. Ultimately it will allow me to fulfill my primary responsibility to my clients which is protecting their current and future lifestyle.
