Many of the families who work with Brad say that that they are relieved to find a financial advisor who understands that measuring financial success is not necessarily a percentage of return on their money (ROI).

Rather, it is about utilizing their assets wisely to create a life that satisfies their goals, dreams, and values.  This could be leaving a legacy to a charitable organization, traveling, or purchasing a vacation home for their family’s use. In short, it is about return on life (ROL).
