Here's more of the back story. In 1974 Nicole and I were married (on Mount Shasta, mind you), we bought a house, and I started my own business meeting with people to discuss their finances. We have had five children, one of whom went back to be with the Lord, bless her heart. And now, almost 40 years later, we are still married, we still live in the same (greatly remodelled) house, and I am still meeting with clients to discuss their wants and needs. Your math is correct, I'm in my 60's.

Now, being in business for that long has, of course, allowed me to make my share of mistakes, large and small. It has also allowed me the great privilege of watching many successes, large and small, in the lives of the people I have worked with all these years. As the economy has shifted and changed, and people have experienced pressures and decisions—and opportunities—they never thought would come into their lives, I have spent more and more time coaching people in areas far beyond just finances.
