Let's begin with Why. I believe Americans need good financial advice if they are to gain a measure of financial security. I further believe I
can best serve Americans - indirectly - through serving the financial services professionals who directly serve them.
My passion to serve has been demonstrated throughout the decades as an attorney, author, consultant, teacher, and expert witness. During my
years within the financial world, I've observed how critical it is to know the subject matter and be a trustworthy resource.
The financial services sector is not simple. Never has been. Never will be. It is a VUCA world: Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous.
Successful client outcomes are rarely guaranteed and never predicted perfectly by gazing at a crystal ball.
Investment themes may come and go. Markets gyrate. Investment Managers are Hot, or Not. The world of investing may be defined as a complex web of legal,
regulatory, fiduciary, and ethical demands.
