Jim is devoted to helping his clients achieve financial independence, while also having the means to fulfill a purpose greater than themselves.
Throughout his career as a CPA, financial planner, and investment representative, Jim has cultivated the expertise that allows him to meld his passion for helping others with his commitment to Christian values. He strives to help his clients make sense of the confusing, simplify the complicated, and find a sense of calm and purpose when it comes to their financial lives.
Jim’s commitment to values-based investments is evident not only in his clients’ portfolios, but in his professional and personal lives as well. As an advisor, he is active in Kingdom Advisors, a national network of faith-based advisors. He is an active member of parishes in two states, and he commits over 10% of his annual gross earnings to various charitable organizations through his donor-advised fund.
Whether it is in the summer in Vermont or during the winter in Florida, you’ll often see Jim and his lovely wife, Diane, out on the golf course spoiling a good walk (to paraphrase Mark Twain).
