As the adage goes, “it takes a village.”
Although it may seem that the honor of being named to the prestigious Forbes 2024 list of Best-in-State Wealth Advisors is a reflection of me, it is really a reflection of “You.”
This recognition reflects years of collaborative effort shaped by a loving family, loyal friends, dedicated clients, and a phenomenal team. Overarching all the above is a faithful Father who is the source of any and all gifts and talents. To Him be the glory.
I am surrounded by greatness each and every day and am richly blessed. Thank you 🙏🏻.
