| Introduction | I have been an asset, financial, life and wealth manager for 40 years, on July 15th. During that time the profession has been in a state of rapid evolution. What my core clients expect of me today is very different from what they expected 37 years ago. When I started, clients were just beginning to invest and had little. Now many are near or are retired, and have accumulated a great deal. What keeps my clients coming back to us is not product, but the confidence that someone is looking out for their best interest, listening to what they are saying and serving as a partner in helping them get where they want to be. Who else has asked the questions about who they are, where do they want to go, and what drives them? I have been my clients' sounding board, confidant, coach, guru and in the end the stronger the relationship we have had, the greater were their successes. We do not always have the "Be your client's best friend" type of relationship but, in the end, I want to be their "go to" guy when they need questions answered or need help. |

The first time you had your shoes taken off - how surprised were you to see that you still had toes?
No, there are some things in life that you can count on. Toes are one of those things. I like to think I am one of those things also!
