My interest in helping people achieve their financial goals started with my first job as a stock broker in 1967. After three years, I left the brokerage business and joined Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis and held management assignments in the corporate finance, international treasury and capital planning areas. I rose to the level of Assistant Treasurer.

My passion for financial planning came full circle when I became an investment advisor for a very successful firm in 1998. I received my Certified Financial Planning (CFP) certification in 2001. I have written several articles including "Retirement Planning using Monte Carlo" for Personal Financial Planning Monthly. In 2007, I completed a one-year program on Wealth Management to further increase my knowledge in his area.

I graduated with a BBA from Wake Forest and earned an MBA-Finance from Wharton, University of Pennsylvania.
