How I live the Four Capitals

Financial
As an entrepreneur, I took the risk to start my own business and meet those ongoing business and family financial obligations.

Physical
I am committed to healthy nutrition, as well as exercising regularly, staying physically active through hiking, skiing, and martial arts. I am also very diligent about annual physical exams and following the standards and protocols for healthcare screening as one ages. I believe prevention is the best medicine.

Psychological
Physical wellness and intellectual engagement are important to my overall psychological well-being as it allows me to stay active and engaged. Staying connected with family and friends is also critical to my well-being.

Intellectual
I am an avid reader and enjoy traveling which allows me to keep expanding my horizons.

Why I enjoy working at SFG

My greatest satisfaction comes from the relationships I am able to build with clients, their families, investment managers, and the SFG team. For me, it is all about SFG’s WHY Statement – To provide insight and solutions to inspire people to take action, so that they can lead fulfilled lives.
