Initial Meeting and Process
INITIAL MEETING
The focus of the introductory meeting is to determine if we are compatible. I will discuss my process and in turn discuss your financial situation as well as your needs, goals and risk tolerance.
FOLLOW UP MEETING
During the second meeting we will review your individually tailored retirment/financial plan; look at your current assets, insurance, and estate plan; and discuss any changes need to be made to fit your unique situation.
ONGOING PORTFOLIO REVIEW
The final step of the process is a periodic review encompassing your investment objectives, investment portfolio’s performance, and our progress in the pursuit of your financial goals.
THE PROCESS
GENERATION TO GENERATION
Imagine working a life time to not only save enough money to retire financially independent but also to support your family, especially children. Then you die. What do the courts do with your estate?
The overall purpose of estate planning is to develop a plan that will enhance and maintain the financial security of you and your family. This includes financial planning, which may lead to increase your wealth, conservation of those assets, as well as passing them to the next generation. Estate planning should provide financial security during retirement years and facilitate the intended and orderly distribution of property at death. This can be done with proper usage of wills, trusts and insurance.

Happy Anniversary Bull Market | Weekly Market Commentary | October 13, 2025
Year three of this bull market was a strong one. After a bit of a slow start — the S&P 500 rose 21.4% during the first year of this bull compared with the average first-year gain near 40% — year two was a catch-up year with a 32.2% gain vs. a second-year average of 12.4%. Then in year three, a year that had produced an average gain of only 5.2% historically, the S&P 500 rallied 16.1% (through October 8, 2025, before Friday’s sell-off). As noted in the “After a Strong Third Year, This Bull is Ahead of Schedule” chart, the nearly 89% gain in the S&P 500 since this bull market began on October 12, 2022 (excluding dividends), is well ahead of the average and median three-year advances for all bull markets since 1950.
