A little about myself

I was born and raised in Bakersfield California and attended Garces Memorial High School, before attending the UC Davis. At Davis, I received a Bachelor of Science in Managerial Economics as well as a Bachelor of Arts in History. I began my career in finance, in 1998, on the floor of the Pacific Coast Options Exchange working my way up to a floor trader with a small firm in San Francisco. Upon returning to Bakersfield in 2002, I began working directly with the public as a financial advisor and find great enjoyment helping clients with their investment & financial planning. I married my wife Katie in 2007 & have a son, Cooper.
