I am a seasoned wealth management professional who has spent three decades in valuation, strategy, transactional mergers and acquisitions, commercial credit and private banking. Most gratifying are the relationships I've cultivated with clients many spanning generations of their families and our nation's geography. As co-founder of Fuhrmann Hayne & Associates, my team and I work closely with business founders and owners, corporate executives, and families with assets in the energy and investment markets, real estate and elsewhere. Much of my focus is helping clients diversify their wealth "away" from concentrated areas of potential risk. In helping to structure their wealth with an eye toward tax efficiency, I collaborate with our trust professionals. By doing my job well, I can help clients cut through the red tape and wade through the complexities of wealth. MORE THAN ANYTHING, I ENJOY "THE CONVERSATION" WITH VISIONARY CLIENTS the bumps they've taken and how I can smooth their transition toward meaningful goals. Many anticipate a liquidity event or passing along an enterprise. With my experience in corporate finance, I assist at all steps of the business cycle to help clients optimize those transitions (the kind that often come once in a lifetime). I also offer access to Bank of America, N.A. for its extensive resources in investment banking, financing and cash management solutions. WHAT MAKES ME PROUD? Helping clients work through the tough decisions that we all face from time to time how to pay for college, whether to invest in a business, how to pass wealth on to an organization or to family, etc. Communicating consistently with both spouses. It feels good to help clients understand where they stand and how to move forward especially when emotions can drive financial decisions. In addition to involvement with area non-profits, my greatest passion is spending time with my family and friends in the great outdoors.
