I joined my father’s firm, Impact Wealth Group, in 2022, after working for almost 20 years in a variety of positions in the investment industry. My interest in the financial markets started at an early age. My father, Clyde, had a big influence on me through his career encompassing different financial-industry roles.
I entered the financial-services industry after college, holding positions at several firms as a proprietary trader and head of trading operations, as well as a managing partner for a hedge fund that specialized in asset management for high-net-worth individuals. I have experience in investment strategy development; investor relations; capital investment generation; risk management; and compliance, audit, tax, and administrative processes. I have worked extensively with third-party investment providers, conducting due diligence and providing oversight for clients on their strategies and implementation.
Across all of this experience in the financial industry, I have developed a deep knowledge of investment strategy and implementation, risk management, and—importantly—how to effectively address the objectives of clients and other stakeholders. I think that background is invaluable in working with our clients at Impact Wealth Group.
I have worked hard at making a successful transition from serving clients in an investment capacity to now addressing the full scope of their financial-planning needs. I appreciate the mentorship of my father and others in our firm—and I am also building my knowledge base through a wide variety of other resources. At this point, we have adopted a team approach to addressing clients’ financial- and retirement-planning needs.
I am the first to admit that fully transitioning to the advisor role will take a lot of additional learning on my part. I’ve been attending online webinars from many different financial-industry providers of products and services, in addition to having many one-on-one in-depth conversations. Getting to know and understand the nuts and bolts of the products available to our clients is extremely important. I need to be able to thoroughly explain how everything works to clients and understand the risks and rewards of any solution I think might be a viable option. I think it will be a continuous learning process, but I am extremely dedicated to it.
My goal is to do what is best for my clients. If I do that, I think our business will continue to grow organically. My father has always believed the success we achieve as a firm will be solely based on the success of the work we do with our clients and their level of satisfaction. I share that belief and look forward to continuing and enhancing that mission.
