Advising Philosophy
I hate ambiguity. Whether it relates to expectations for fees, service, or client communication, I like things to be clear and concise.  I take pride in my clients’ successes. What keeps me in this business is the relationships I have with my clients. 

 

Personal
I'm blessed to have a beautiful wife who continues to put up with me for nearly 10 years! Together we have two amazing children who keep us busier than we ever thought possible. We also have an 13 year Chesapeake Bay Retriever named Stella.  

When I get free time (which isn't often). I enjoy renovating our home, boating and water skiing with friends and family, bump skiing, drumming, and sampling a good beer or some bourbon.

(Jim)

Founder & President

Background 
Jim is president and founder of Heritage Financial Group and has worked extensively in the financial services industry since 1977.  His initial experiences were with companies whose primary objectives were to sell proprietary financial products under the guise of "Financial Planning."

In an effort to become truly independent, completely transparent and client oriented rather than product and sales oriented, he founded Heritage Financial Group in 1986 as full service and unconditionally independent organization.  A primary focus was to educate and inform clients concerning the options available so as to empower them to make smart financial decisions that were right for them.

 

Advising Philosophy 
I believe that a financial advisor must possess two primary characteristics:  

  • Uncompromising Integrity
  • Professional knowledge and experience.

Integrity without competence is of no benefit to a client

Competence without integrity is dangerous to a client. 

 

Personal
Being a native of Denver I have snow skied all my life, but also love water skiing and being on and in the water.  My philosophy, however, is that if one has to "get used" to the water when they first get in, it is too cold.  While growing up in Denver I earned the rank of Eagle Scout camping and hiking in the Colorado Rockies.

A lifetime interest has also been 1960's muscle cars and I recently began a total frame off restoration of a 1971 LT1 Corvette Convertible which I expect to take at least two years.  

Stay tuned...
