Biography


Our clients are time starved established professionals that don’t want to “do it all myself,” recognize the value of their time, and want to avoid making costly mistakes. We  help people that are suddenly single as a result of a major life transition and don’t have the experience to manage all aspects of their financial lives. And, we work with not-for-profits to reduce their investment expenses and enhance their investment performance so they can provide better financial support to their mission.
