Q&A with Scott
Why did you become a financial planner?
I was always interested in investing so when the opportunity came to make a career change, I became a part of national investment management company. The underpinning of all investment strategies for individuals and families is planning, controlling expenses, managing debt, building portfolios in the right places and taking care of catastrophic risk. I really enjoy helping folks put their plans together and watching those plans unfold successfully over the years.
How do you define your role as a fiduciary?
As fiduciaries our duty is to always put our client’s interests first.
What do you do when a problem is outside your area of expertise?
Part of being a fiduciary is knowing when a client needs skills and expertise that you and your firm can’t offer. Fortunately, we’ve had the honor of working closely with our client’s other advisors over the years to help them help our clients. We try to assist those other professionals to help ensure our client’s financial plans are complete.
