Keith M. Donnell

"I love working with people. At heart, I am both a teacher and a coach, which means, I enjoy simplifying complex information and helping people succeed over time.  As a practitioner in matters of personal finance, I get to do both of those things for my clients on a regular basis. I believe the most important thing I can do for my clients as a professional is to listen carefully to their concerns and provide them the information they need, in an actionable format, to make smart decision about their money and their future. The services I provide can improve the lives of my clients and their families for generations.  I am very sensitive to that responsibility. I intend to continue working closely with my clients for years to come." - Keith Donnell
