I was in the investment industry from 1982-2006. I started as a stockbroker and then moved into asset management. In 1996, I opted for independence and started my own boutique investment management and research advisory firm. I built my firm from scratch using direct response sales, marketing and copyrighting. I sold my investment business in 2006 and retired at the age of 50. I deliver more than what is expected. My methods are professional, well organized, clear and concise. I am a prolific writer, public speaker as well as a teacher. My kids are grown, out of the house and moving on with their lives. I am looking to dive headlong into new challenges where I can put my writing, sports, coaching, sales/marketing, business, savvy to use.
