Dear Investor:

Thank you for your interest Great Nation Investment Corporation.  Because I place a great deal of importance in knowing each of my clients, I would like to begin our relationship by introducing myself.

I began my career in the financial services industry with Merrill Lynch in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1986, and am a graduate of the Merrill Lynch Advanced Training School in Princeton, New Jersey.  I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and a Master of Business Administration Degree from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Arkansas.

Because every client's financial needs are different, I believe that it is important for an investment advisor to have a broad working knowledge of all of the various investment vehicles available today.  Therefore, I constantly strive to increase my expertise in every aspect of the investment world.  Based on my extensive background in all areas of financial planning, my experience allows me to provide my clients with effective strategies based on their individual goals, manageable executions and superior service.  With the wide range of financial products and services represented at Great Nation Investment Corporation, we have the ability to match specific financial products and services to individual investor needs in order to help achieve their goals and objectives.

One thing that I particularly enjoy is helping people better organize their financial affairs by telling them about the many solutions available to them beyond what they are told by their stockbrokers, financial planners, attorneys and CPAs.  I first educate my clients about their alternatives, and then assist them in implementing the proper solution.

Lastly, I believe in giving something back to the community in which we live.  I have served on the Benton City Council and as a member of the Benton Rotary Club and Optimist Club.  I have also been an instructor for the Arkansas Society of Certified Public Accountants Continuing Education Program.  Additionally, I am an active member of First Baptist Church of Benton, Arkansas.

About relationships

We believe in relationships.  A financial relationship between a client and an advisor requires trust, honesty and service.  We are committed to never compromise any of those factors.  

When you become one of our clients, your interest become paramount.  We sincerely believe that only what is good four our clients is good for our business.

We would also like to know about your goals and objectives in order to determine if there is a possibility of us working together.  We are available for a meeting at your convenience, and you can call us at any time in order to arrange for an appointment.
