Plan for Prosperity
Having an Investment Portfolio
is not the same as
Having a Financial Plan.
About John
Before becoming an advisor himself, John learned the hard way that “Having an Investment Portfolio” is not the same as “Having a Financial Plan”.
In 2003, he left a successful and established career in music, wholesale distribution of Audio/Visual Systems Integration equipment and sales management to become the type of financial planner and wealth manager he always hoped to meet.
