Over the last decade, I've learned that clients more than anything appreciate a financial advisor who's proactive, honest and transparent. Whether or not they're sophisticated investors, they deserve to know what we think, what they own, what things cost, and the risk they're taking. Today, I continue to fulfill my childhood fascination with investing, and desire to make a difference in people's lives. Together with my talented and experienced colleagues at The Brooks White Cochran Group at Morgan Stanley, we take a planning-based approach to putting clients' investment dollars to work. We're also highly proactive in helping clients make informed financial decisions (rather than emotional ones).
