Jeff does more than 300 presentations yearly in the US and abroad to a client base that includes a who’s who list of fortune 500 firms from Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between. Jeff has been featured in Investment News and has been an analyst on POTUS Sirius/XM radio.

Jeff’s dedication, forward thinking, and strategic abilities have resulted in performance records, industry awards, and leadership accolades. His real reward, however, comes from helping others reach their professional and personal goals.
Good read on what we call the "Primary Effect". A party has a bitter primary, only to see a heavily damaged candidate or the most idealogical candidate win. This makes it very difficult to win the general election. Dems are struggling w/same issue. ow.ly/Tx2330jAVsS

The next leader for GOP in House of Rep is not a given. Some say they should replace the entire leadership team, not just pick the next in line. Perhaps not even a House member...yes, they can do that. FYI- Nancy Pelosi is not a lock for Dems either. ow.ly/GOzz30jzNV3

You know our position on U.S. fiscal matters. Great article dissecting the GOP position on the recent CBO projections. Pay particular attention to the last two paragraphs. It's what we've been telling audiences for the better part of the last decade. ow.ly/ql2j30jysGC

Tax reform II in 2018? Not likely to become law, but it will be interesting to see which vulnerable democrats vote for round two in an election year. Assuming it makes it to the Senate. Goal is to make individual cuts permanent. ow.ly/yGn730jysfG

Jeff: I attended the Schwab Investment outlook meeting in Dallas yesterday. I enjoyed your presentation very much. I am involved with a small BD/RIA firm north of Houston, & could not help but think many of my customers would enjoy hearing what you had to say.
Thanks again
