In addition, I am the investment fiduciary on various retirement plans. I also have experience in political and economic issues, and an understanding of how these issues may affect financial markets and ultimately client goals and objectives.

Small Business Administration.I taught Advanced Stock Analysis, Investments, Capital Markets and The Survey of Financial Planning at the University of California, Irvine for over fourteen years and have been a guest lecturer and speaker for groups such as the University of California, Riverside, Cal State Fullerton, the LA Treasurer’s Club, AIAA (the American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics), the Junior League of Orange County and numerous cruise lines.In addition, I have hosted the Los Angeles public television show “Small Business Views” and selected as the host based on my experience with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
