JD, CFP®
Financial Advisor / Member Owner
Part of the reason I became a financial advisor is directly related to inorganic chemistry in my freshman year, which ended my orthodontist aspirations. I don't like to sleep much, as I might miss something. The beauty of life is that you have control over your attitude.
