The people I work with and the relationships I build are at the heart of what I do. I believe in the power of integrity and honesty, and these values are the cornerstone of my professional approach.
My interest in investment was sparked during a class at Oklahoma State University. I was struck by the crucial role that investment plays in retirement planning, and I knew then that I wanted to help others navigate this critical aspect of their financial journey.
I was born and raised on a farm in Stillwater, Oklahoma, right next door to my grandparents. Growing up in a college town while raising cattle and pigs taught me the value of hard work, dedication, and the importance of community - values that I bring into my work every day.
On a personal note, I met my wife at Oklahoma State University and we've been happily married for 40 years. We're proud parents to our two daughters, Shelby and Madison, and doting grandparents to our grandson, Beck William Valentine.
