History
Established in 2000.
David was motivated to begin his career in financial planning by his mother, whose father passed away when she was very young, and who saw her own mother run a business and raise two small girls by herself. Because of this, she always wanted to be in control of her financial destiny and often struggled to make the best of her situation piecemeal, without an overall plan or professional assistance. Helping others get the information they need to make sense of their options, designing a roadmap that reflects the specific concerns he hears from his clients, and supporting them to make tough but educated decisions to help gain control over their financial lives has been David’s mission ever since.
Registered to conduct securities business in CA, CO, HI and NV. Third-party posts on this profile do not reflect the view of Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. and have not been reviewed by Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. as to accuracy or completeness.
