L. Mark Carron | Tampa, FL

"Trust who you know / Know who you trust."

With the Carron family's involvement in the Tampa community for over 50 years, Mark's 27 years of investment industry experience is based on his strong belief in nurturing a bond with his clients. "I realize my role can be integral to a client achieving financial independence. Whether developing a plan to monetize an exit strategy for owners of a closely held corporation, consulting on an employee benefit plan or business succession, or establishing an investment policy statement and customizing the asset allocation model — we address the myriad of investment decisions together. I'm here so that my clients can make informed decisions and work with a seasoned professional who is concerned about accomplishing what is important to them."
