Forced by the sale of my former firm, I have enthusiastically joined Oak Ridge Financial, a member of the RBC Correspondent Services, which operational platform my clients have employed for the past seven years; we continue forward with RBC CS, with no change in focus or objective, which is to help clients reach their goals. I am not only a career financial planner and advisor, but also a passionate advocate for clients who want to invest in companies that champion and uphold human dignity. Through my years of experience serving my clients, their families and their businesses, I have developed a deep respect for the passion they bring to protecting and providing for them. I am, therefore, a committed proponent of the principles of sustainable, responsible, impact (SRI) investing, as those principles aim to do the same for our larger society.I have been a regular contributor to WealthManagement.com, writing on Sustainable Investing issues.
