"My grandparents had a huge impact on me becoming a financial advisor. It was 1976 when they arrived in the United States from Chile, changing the prospects of our family forever. My grandfather was a hard-working family man who arrived in this exceptional country with only $20 in his pocket, destined for entrepreneurship. He started a successful antique upholstery shop servicing the elites of Chicago. It is from him that I get my sense of entrepreneurship. I also learned early on about the need for financial planning when my grandparents experienced health issues. I realized how fragile life is and how your health can drastically affect you and your loved ones. During these times, I recognized that financial planning for one's future is essential."
