A lot has changed for me in the 35+ years I have been a financial planner—technology advancements, government programs and market dynamics to name a few. All the new learning and keeping on top of changes has kept me young. One thing that hasn’t changed is my desire to put people first, always. What I do is all about planning—planning for people and responding to their needs. Clients drive their plan and they are why I still love this career after 35 years.
