Bob's Story
I finally retired in January 2020. I spent my professional career as a CPA, CA and CFP and owner of a financial planning firm. I very much enjoyed working with and helping my clients over the years achieve personal financial freedom.

It has been a time of great sadness, with lots of changes and adjustments. As they say, life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.
