Other business activities


Outside business activity is any business or activity undertaken by an advisor that is outside the scope of their relationship with their firm (e.g., consulting services, real estate, freelance work, teaching, etc.). Investors should stay informed about these activities to ensure no conflicts of interest.
BETHEL CHRISTIAN CAMP POSITION: Board Chairman NATURE: Bethel is a Christian Summer Camp and retreat center that primarily focusses on the underserved. Since 1941 it has servedthose without the means to afford a christian summer camp on their own. Today, 50% of kids who attend camp go on a scholarship basis, meaning that donors who give throughout the year are contributing towards those kids attending camp.In the offseason, the facilities are made available to the community for rent. Typically churches, youth groups, and other clubs rent the facility for retreats and team building activities. INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 5 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 10/01/2016 ADDRESS: 750 Boy Scout Rd, Gaston SC 29053, United States DESCRIPTION: In the past, I have been on staff during the summer, I have served 2 years as a board member, and now serve as the board chair. MILL CITY CHURCH POSITION: Elder NATURE: Mill City Church is a southern baptist church serving the cities of West Columbia and Lexington, SC. INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 18 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 4 START DATE: 01/01/2017 ADDRESS: 600 Holland Ave, Cayce SC 29033, United States DESCRIPTION: My primary responsibilities are communications and oversight of kids' ministry. I am responsible for keeping our website up to date, training volunteers in production, contributing to teaching and vision meetings, and helping with music ministries. I lead the kids' ministry - about 30 kids. Our church is elder-led, meaning leadership and direction decisions are made by the elders, not voted on by the congregation. As an elder, I have a say in those meetings, though any decisions must be passed by all of the elders. I have little to no authority over individuals in the church, though our elders team acts together to set vision and direction for everyone. My role is more like a voice on that team than any kind of independent authority. BIBLE SNAP POSITION: Production Design NATURE: Youtube channel with bible videos INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 5 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 08/10/2021 ADDRESS: 437 Winterfield Dr, Lexington SC 29073, United States DESCRIPTION: I make videos about the bible and put them on youtube. MUSIC PUBLISHING POSITION: Publisher NATURE: I just started publishing some music using distribution services that list it on spotify/apple/amazon etc. It is unlikely to produce much revenue - it was mostly a means of convenience so that the music I made could be played using amazon alexa devices at home. INVESTMENT RELATED: No NUMBER OF HOURS: 1 SECURITIES TRADING HOURS: 0 START DATE: 11/15/2024 ADDRESS: 437 Winterfield Dr, Lexington SC 29073, United States DESCRIPTION: I just make the music and publish it.
