Our mission is to assist people from all walks of life to coordinate their finances with their life goals. We are unique in that we provide our services in two different ways: 1) on an HOURLY, AS-NEEDED basis for those who manage their own money and would like occasional investment advice and financial planning, 2) for those who do not want the responsibility of managing their own investments, we offer money management at a percentage of the account balance. Very few of the nation's financial planning firms are structured this way in offering financial advice without managing your assets. We welcome those who manage their own money and would like occasional, professional guidance or, supplement their needs by addressing issues that are not offered by your current money manager....

Gary Cook
My firm is a Registered Investment Adviser and I am a Certified Financial Planner TM. I provide simple, easy to understand advice on financial topics such as investments, retirement cash flow analysis, debt reduction, and estate planning.
Advice is billed by the hour, allowing me to serve clients as their long-term planner, but only paying me when services are rendered.
Educated as an engineer, I worked many years in the technical field as a program manager. My interest in financial planning began as I realized my own financial "advisor" had his own agenda and was not necessarily looking out for my best interests. That was when I realized not all financial advisors are the same.
To be able to always place my clients' best interests first, I am chose not to affiliate with any brokerage firms or insurance companies. I'll never try to sell you financial products, receive sales commissions, referral fees, or any other third-party compensation that could cloud my judgement.
The focus of my practice is my clients, so you can expect highly personalized service. My first priority is getting to know you. Everything is based on your goals, priorities, and values.... See More
