Navigator – “a person who practices, or is skilled in, navigation”
My dad, Richard Sr., was a decorated US Air Force Navigator who successfully guided his crews to destinations around the globe, from the jungles of southeast Asia to frozen tundra of the north and south poles. I inherited his passion for navigation, only I develop routes to desired wealth/financial destinations. In guiding your journey we will define a route through today’s challenging financial landscape that delivers you to your destination.
Each journey requires a thorough understanding of the terrain ahead, including the landmarks and milestones. Creating a proper road map or flight plan requires a full understanding of your present situation and the destination you desire. As your navigator, it is my job to anticipate the challenges ahead, advise you of course corrections and make appropriate adjustments. Together we monitor your progress, allowing you to enjoy the journey.
I have enjoyed the privilege of guiding many successful missions over the past 20 years and am excited about the journeys that lay ahead and the crews I will lead.
When not navigating the financial world, I enjoy the great outdoors of Michigan’s upper peninsula. Spending time with family and friends in the pursuit of outdoor adventures is where I can be found. My grandsons, two boys and daughter-in-law are at the very center of my compass.
