Professional and friendly demeanor. Spends the appropriate amount of time explaining plans and ideas based on the client's knowledge. Good sounding board for ideas that the client may have. Vested in creating comfortable/trusting relationship vs transactions. Open to including clients ideas/approach to retirement/financial planning, that may be non traditional or not out of the standard playbook.

I am semi-retired. My advice is based on maintaining assets with growth. My advisor, listens, willing to help those beginning to grow their wealth based on their personal risk tolerance and is continually educating himself. Also, a good guy and a Christian. Knowing that I am the sole sources of my finances, he works to optimize my assets level of growth.

He has taken into account the current income I have but understands it may flex based on the nature of my work. We just began this relationship, so I can only speak from a certain point of view and up to this point in time.

Advisor looked at our specific mix of compromised executive level compensation and designed a solution based on the situation. I've known my advisor for several years. Advisor provides great overall service and advice. He is also patient and flexible with our busy schedules.

We discussed what I do, company I work for which was all taken into consideration when developing my financial plan. Fredrick takes the time to understand current scenario, and ask clarifying questions to help build out your plan. He is responsive to questions you may have outside of the scheduled meetings. He is also knowledgeable in the area of finances working at a Fortune 500 company managing assets 500M+, and he has had his own business around financial planning for 10+ years. The relationship has been great so far and I look forward to maintaining this relationship for many years to come. I hope to grow more financial astute and also have a plan that will have me happy in retirement and my children (and even children's children) in a financial situation that is healthy. We talked about my disability and the areas that we need to focus on to compensate.
