When a new client starts their relationship with Hill Investment Group, we ask what made them select us. Often responses are some version of, “We were told you really care, and our meetings with you confirmed that you do.” We agree and are thankful. We really do care, and PJ McDaniel is the person in charge of demonstrating our intentions with new families. Take two minutes to watch PJ McDaniel’s video. I bet you’ll feel how much PJ wants to help families get the kind of financial guidance they deserve…and have been in search of.

It’s hard to imagine someone more likable than PJ. He’s a partner in our firm, leads our business development efforts, and is known for his positive focus. PJ estimates that he’s met over 8,000 advisors through his prior career. He’s said that he picked the best firm of the bunch when he joined HIG. It’s nice of him to say, but we’re the lucky ones. There is no better person to introduce new families to our evidence-based investment philosophy and Take the Long View approach. I’m proud to call PJ my business partner and hope that you consider him as your partner as well.

If you want to get to know PJ even better, set a time to talk or meet with him here.

We’re continuing our video series highlighting team members, and this month I encourage you to watch John Reagan’s under two-minute piece. John dedicates his professional life to client service. It’s that simple. He is reliable with a capital “R,” and I consider him the backbone of Hill Investment Group. John is a partner in the firm, leads client service, the Financial Planning Committee, and founded our Longview Charitable Initiative (where we give back to our communities). John is someone you want on your side. Clients have told me that they wish they could “find a John Reagan in other parts of their lives.” John works every day to help simplify and add value to the lives of the families we serve. He’s self-described as “slow and steady” in the video, and we love him for it! It’s also a perfect fit with this month’s podcast.

I told you last month that we’d be highlighting our team in a monthly video series and this month it’s Nell’s turn. A former petroleum engineer, Nell cold emailed me four years ago after hearing me interviewed on a podcast. The way Nell’s brain works caught my attention, both in her writing and in the subsequent call. Nell is now a trusted partner and leader of Hill Investment Group. She’s even got a nickname. We call her “Sheriff Schiffer” for the kind but firm way she has us all following a strict process. We hope you enjoy watching and listening to Nell describe how she found her “dream job” at Hill Investment Group.
