Back in the 1970s, I graduated from Cornell Engineering School and followed the expected path, working first for Corning Glass and then CibaGeigy. For more than 20 years, I worked in engineering and consulting, with a goal of making more money for companies. In 2001, I decided it would be more meaningful to me to help individuals and families. Ever since, I have focused on retirement planning.
I love to teach as well. I’m an approved instructor with the “Financial ABCs of Retirement Workshop.” This program is available through Adult Financial Educational Services. This past year, I have taught classes at Cape Fear Community College, Brunswick County Community College and the University of Mount Olive’sWilmington campus.
My wife, Sandy, and I live in the historic district of Downtown Wilmington. We have two daughters, Samantha and Katie. Katie lives in New York with her husband. Sam has joined the family business and is enjoying her ever-expanding roll as partner and advisor.I have lots of hobbies, like music, pottery, fishing and kayaking, and am on the board of Cape Fear River Watch. If you want to hear my music, come down to The Satellite on Greenfield Street some Sunday evening; I’ll be the handsome devil playing the hammered dulcimer!
