The family, developers of a successful restaurant chain, relied heavily on his expertise in both the day-to-day management of their wealth and as the facilitator of their ongoing planning.
Two years later in 1997, he founded InTrust Advisors with the primary goal of assisting affluent families and family owned businesses achieve their financial goals and dreams. Through his extensive experience in financial and business consulting and his dedication to the interests of his clients, Jeff is a close, trusted advisor to those who work with him.
