Jimmy’s highest priorities are his ethics and transparency with his clients. He understands the tremendous responsibility and integrity required to oversee a family’s personal wealth. The most rewarding aspect of his career are the long standing relationships he builds with his clients.

He has a strong Christian faith and sees his financial planning practice as his ministry to families to preserve and protect their legacy.
