Rod learned at a young age, the satisfaction of working hard and doing things right, even if nobody was watching. Early on, he knew that he wanted to be in business for himself and do something that made a difference in people’s lives. He and his wife Paula were married in 1986 and started their first business in 1989 when Rod was 24 years old; the sale of that business led them on a search for an Investment Advisor. They discovered that finding the right advisor wasn’t as easy as they thought it might be. Eventually, they found the right person that “turned the lights on” for them. Rod says, “He spoke our language, helping us understand how money works and how to make it work for us”. Rod soon realized that there was a need for Investment Advisors that speak the language of everyday, hard working people, just like us and that’s what he set out to do.
Through the years, Rod and Paula have enjoyed doing life together. Their hobbies and things they enjoy doing together have changed over time, from snow skiing and water skiing to more recently, motorcycle riding. They love long trips on their Harley to destinations like Yellowstone, Glacier National Park or visiting all the National Parks in Utah and the Grand Canyon. “A day ride through Yosemite or down the beautiful California coast line of Highway 1 is best experienced on a motorcycle……at least that is our opinion”.
Rod and Paula enjoy attending and serving at Calvary Chapel Turlock and are passionate about their faith in their Creator. “We have been blessed in so many ways”.
Rod has been a Registered Representative for 25 years and an Investment Advisor Representative for 16 years. He is passionate about teaching the fundamentals of how money and investments work to people of all walks of life.
