I'm the eldest son of a Navy captain who was born in Hawaii and raised on both coasts. Having attended 18 different schools through college, I have a varied background and have had the opportunity to visit all 50 states and much of the world.

I'm married to Mic Draper and we have four children and three grandchildren so far. I'm actively involved in Kiwanis Club, serving as a past president twice over. My interests include golf and skiing, and most weekends I'm doing one or the other.

The vagaries of the stock market inspired me in my twenties to become an investor, and I took that inspiration to become an advisor at 42. I love the world of business and understanding the daily movement of the investment world. It is my passion.

Clients who want to retire wealthy but slowly and carefully are my favorites. My clients become my friends and I work to understand what is important to them. I then use an established process to build personalized strategies to help them reach their long-term retirement needs and other financial goals. We then partner together over the years to stay on track.
