When can I retire? Will I have enough money accumulated to last? Can I be sure my family be taken care of if something happens to me? Questions such as these are posed to me and our team at Fortify Wealth often. I treasure the close relationships we build with clients as we answer these questions and provide the processes which bring peace of mind and a track that leads to financial independence.
Favorite Quote:
“An empty bag cannot stand upright.”
- Benjamin Franklin
Pet:
We have two Golden Retrievers, Ellie and Anna Belle, who have an unending quest to retrieve tennis balls and run in the park. They exemplify unstressed living and their trust and faith in us bring Petie and me much joy.
Favorite Book:
“Team of Rivals” by Doris Kearns Goodwin
Historical Figure I admire:
“Thomas Jefferson – He had the vision to expand the breadth and scope of America with the Louisiana Purchase and was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence.
I am thankful for:
My wife, Petie. With a background as a commercial artist, she now does portraits of friend’s children and grandchildren, and continues to do some contract work on a casual basis, leaving time for meals with friends, church and bible study. She is my confidante, friend, and love of my life!
My son John, who now oversees the operations and next phase of Fortify Wealth. His wife Gretel is a Nurse Practioner and together they are raising William, Gwenyth, and George.
Jim, my oldest son, is the co-owner of two companies in Austin, Texas. He is married to Amanda and they are raising Marshal and Ellie – Hook’em Horns!
Our Daughter Ann has a Doctorate in Audiology and works for the University of Louisville. She is also a full time mother. Her husband John is a M.D. and together they have three children, August, Charlie, and Bea. They live in Louisville Kentucky and I can say she is my favorite daughter!
