"I believe that there are a handful of competent Financial Advisors serving Western North Carolina," comments Mike, "but there is certainly a tremendous need for a financial planning and investment management firm that can help clients incorporate what is important to them in life with what makes sense financially. We bring purposeful life planning and financial planning together in hopes that this will help our clients find Financial Freedom."
