My Journey

Three Decades of Entrepreneurial Leadership

As a seasoned wealth management professional with three decades of entrepreneurial experience, I leverage my extensive background to empower firms and leaders in strategic growth. My journey includes founding and leading two prominent companies, Fortigent and Lydian Wealth Management (Convergent Wealth Advisors), which have shaped my deep understanding of business strategy and organizational development. Additionally, as a fintech investor, I actively seek innovative solutions that enhance the financial services landscape, which keeps me at the forefront of industry trends. I now apply my insights to guide CEOs, executives, and boards in crafting and implementing strategies that drive sustainable success.

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”

— Colin Powell

I am not your Typical Advisor or Board Member

I provide an outsider's perspective and experience as a member of the executive team or board of my clients to assist in the design & execution of each firm's unique business strategy.

My clients represent a diversified collection of financial services companies consisting of wealth management firms (RIAs), a cadre of leading fintech companies, a fintech venture capital fund, a premier boutique investment bank, actively managed ETFs, and mutual funds.

My clients tend to be restless. They are not satisfied with the status quo and pay significant attention to how the industry is evolving. They are on a continual path of self-improvement, and they are focused on using new technologies to enhance the client experience and to scale with greater effectiveness.

In the end, it is all about execution – I strive to partner with clients to drive the results they seek. I keep my clients FOCUSED! Focused on the activities that drive success! Implementing a process for establishing the right goals, motivating the team through accountability, creating an impactful way to monitor results, and instilling a culture of collaboration (brainstorming) are all key to any organization's success. What gets measured gets results!

He gives it to us straight even if we don't want to hear it. He's helped us strengthen our team, our partnership and focus on the things that matter. I can't imagine where the business would be today if we hadn't started working with him a few years ago.
