Linda Black believes there is more to investment management and financial planning than numbers. The decisions you make now will affect your financial health for years to come.

You need a solid strategy and a competent, caring professional on your side. You need someone who will answer your questions and take the time to educate you along the way.

Linda believes there is no relationship between you and your advisor without commitment, effective communication, and trust. Only then can the experience of a competent advisor help you execute your financial strategy.

Away from the business, Linda enjoys hiking, canoeing, quilting, and spending time with her husband and their three children.
