Accomplishments

With over 42 years experience in financial services I have helped several thousand individuals, business owners, business executives, agri-business owners and operators, as well as all types of contractors from construction through petroleum based operations. I have assisted all of these types of clients to improve their cash flow, lower taxes, and to enhance their personal estate and retirement plans and to maximize the performance of their portfolios without undue risk.


At the same time, for those with estates large enough to be impacted by estate taxes we have designed and implemented estate plans that significantly reduced the effective cost of the estate tax by as much as 65%. And at the same time we have helped others to effectively lower capital gains to as low as 0% to 10% as opposed to 28% and up to 37% for short term capital gains.
