Planning Specialties
I have over 30 years of experience in investment management and financial planning, helping clients make informed financial decisions and play a smarter game when it comes to their money.
I act strictly as a fee-only advisor so that clients know they are receiving advice and counsel which is based on true objectivity. Financial Research, Inc. is a fully independent company and receives no commissions or compensation from investment transactions or insurance products.
Our wealth management services rely on a process that has proven effective in helping clients move forward toward important goals and getting what they want in life. Most clients of Financial Research are provided with a comprehensive wealth management program, combining investment management and financial planning services.
