While dedicated to assisting clients to achieve the quality of life they feel they deserve for themselves and their loved ones, what Kenneth loves most is assisting clients in achieving their quality-of-life objectives. “When I first meet with someone, I carefully listen to ascertain their concerns, fears, and goals. Then we address those in their custom plan.”
He says, “My practice today is focused on financial literacy, retirement planning, and helping clients achieve financial freedom and security of income in retirement. My constant inquiry to every client is, ‘Do you know how money works??’ I am committed to the creation, growth and preservation of wealth for each of my clients, and teaching them what that means.”
Kenneth was born and raised on the west side of Chicago, Illinois. Married to his wife for 11 years, Kenneth has three children—a married son who is 30, an unmarried son of 26, and a 19-year-old daughter currently a junior at the University of Wisconsin. In his free time, he enjoys golf, traveling the world, good music, and great books.
Active in his local church in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Kenneth is involved in youth mentorship and community financial literacy. He is an advocate for domestic violence victims and families affected by cancer. He says, “I live by a very basic but critical philosophy: ‘What I had I gave, what I kept I lost for a lifetime.’”
