The Financial Quarterback™/Investor Coach

My Story

Years ago I was working diligently doing job my job as an investment advisor, wealth manager, or financial planner (I was never sure what to call myself back then). As far as I understood it, my job was to search for investments that would generate above average returns for my clients. That’s what the entire industry was built on and really, that’s what clients thought they hired me to do.  Now think about this for a moment…the entire industry is based on the idea that their job is to find the best investments, and in the process, they are "killing the investor".


When I realized these implications, my entire job and mission changed. I realized that investment success is not at all about skill—it is about having a process, a plan, and good behavior. Financial planning does not end nor begin with the words, “Buy, Sell or Hold.” Unfortunately, for a great number of people that has been the extent of the so-called advice they have received. I could not figure out why this story was not being told anywhere. For this reason an amazing transformation occurred and I created the Investor Coaching Experience. It turns out my job was not to find great investments, but to help create great investors who can sleep well at night.

It also turns out that outperforming your neighbor is not about finding better investments; it is about creating a plan, following through on the process and behaving better. Wow, if this is true, think of what it does to your life. No more Jim Cramer, no more late nights after work trying to find the next Microsoft and Google.

If this is true (year after year, studies tell the same story) then the focus is really on the few things that you can control.

If this is true, your relationship with a financial planner should be based on trust.

If this is true, we can focus on the simple, but not easy, task of becoming a better investor.
