About UsHaving joined Raymond James & Associates in 1993, we formed our partnership in the fall of 1998. Each of us joined Raymond James because we were impressed by the tools and support available for us to provide the highest level of financial advice to our clients. From its financial planning roots, Raymond James has evolved into one of the nation's premier investment firms. Our decision to become partners occurred after working together for several years. We recognized that each of our individual strengths and our combined 35 years of experience complimented the other. In short, John's research and analytical background allows us to better understand and interpret the financial quality of individual stocks and bonds. Brian's financial planning experience keeps the partnership appraised of the ever-evolving retirement, estate, and tax law changes*. Backed by the resources available through Raymond James, we believe we have the best team available to our customers. Our clients benefit from our combined experience, plus the team of professionals in the Raymond James Trust Company, the Financial Planning, and Retirement Plan Consulting Departments. Thus far, our current clients have overwhelmingly affirmed our partnership. They appreciate having two experienced individuals, backed by the team of Raymond James & Associates' professionals, monitoring their investments and helping them reach their financial goals.

About Raymond JamesRaymond James is one of the largest independent financial services firms in the United States. Since its beginning in 1962, it has always been a different kind of company – embracing long-term planning and methodical decision-making while staying uncompromisingly client focused. When other firms were simply buying and selling stocks or mutual funds, Raymond James focused on financial planning to help individuals reach their goals. It was the first firm to pioneer that concept – and today it supports its advisors with access to a full range of comprehensive resources, helping them to do the same.
Raymond James Financial was recently named the best full-service broker in the 2011 SmartMoney annual broker survey for the third time in four years – ranking above Edward Jones, Wells Fargo, UBS, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
