Why I Became a Financial Advisor

Why I Became a Financial Advisor

July 27, 2016

I like to think that business runs in my blood. Both of my grandfathers owned businesses and my father worked at his father’s business before taking it over. I too, helped out working in the store and saw firsthand the dynamics of running a family business and the unique needs of businesses, such as succession plans, insurance, and other financial strategies. Coming from a family of business owners, I was inspired to pursue a career that would allow me to help family businesses avoid such common problems.

My Career Today

Today, I’m a financial advisor who has spent the last 24 years building my career serving business owners, professionals, and families with successful financial solutions individually tailored to their specific needs and objectives.

As an advisor with a large and sophisticated company, I have access to a vast network of resources to help businesses and other professionals and families. I like to view myself as both a financial advisor and a support system. I build strong and trusted relationships with my clients by offering them objective guidance and unbiased advice whenever they have questions or seek insight.

Based on my personal history and decades of experience, I am uniquely qualified to help business owners and professionals, as I understand the unique challenges they face in their careers. Beyond developing financial security for themselves, they also want to take care of and protect their business and family.

Whether they’re close to retirement or plan on running their business for several more decades, I can help them create strategies that address both their short and long-term needs. There’s nothing more satisfying than helping people formalize their financial goals and feel more confident that their family and business is protected.
