I’ve worked with many world class advisors and I can genuinely say that Jeffrey is in the top ranks. He approaches you humbly and confidently providing value right off the bat. It can be lonely at the top. Jeffrey comes right beside you, puts his arm around you and keeps your eyes focused on the big picture. He’s got a knack for quickly understanding your business and helping you talk through any issue you may be stuck on and gets you to see clearly.
