I have spent many years in Investment Management designing and trading and
managing portfolios ranging from the very basic all the way to some of the
most cutting-edge, mathematically intensive and sophisticated in the world.
And I doing so I've had a great successes and some spectacular failures.
But I have learned from both and consider myself grateful to have had the
opportunity of those experiences.
However, during the past few years I have had this undeniable urge to turn
around and give back. In my recollections I began to see past those trading
desks and the ever present P&L statements to the families and the lives
that those flickering numbers on the screen meant. Now I have this
overwhelming desire to share my accumulated experiences with those whom
would benefit from them the most, the ordinary working families of this
country. So I began the process to study and sit for the exam to get my
Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation. Currently my greatest
professional desire is to help individual families escape the "American
Retirement Crisis." I am sincerely, well and truly "a man on a mission."
Longevity risk grows exponentially each and every day for the next 15
years. It would be a great honor to represent you in the fight against
this Crisis by ensuring we help as many individual future's as we can.
