Raymond James & Associates, Inc.

As a Financial Advisor and Partner of Blueway Financial Partners of Raymond James I have two roles:

First, I work closely with clients to help them achieve their goals through our defined process. At the institutional level this includes services such as: committee formation and education, plan provider requests for proposals, fee benchmarking, investment analytics, monitoring outcomes, and
employee education plans and advice. For those select families whom we serve, I like to be thought of as their financial steward helping to manage many aspects of their financial life through our holistic financial planning process. You may be asking yourself how can one person do all of this? I can't. Rather the work our clients see is only possible by the strong team who supports me at both a local and firm level.

Second, I help execute our client Promise and steer our team’s vision for the future. Our Promise Is To: Always serve our clients' needs first; be fair, complete, and truthful; give independent & objective advice; have frequent and meaningful contact; always improve knowledge, wisdom and competence; provide full disclosure of costs and risks; adhere to strict confidentiality; give back to our community, serve with gratitude.

I believe if we take care of those we have the privilege of serving today through our promise, then growth will never be an issue. Our goal is to provide superior services and experiences while growing at a sustainable pace and impacting as many lives as we can along the way.
