What are the roles in your life that are most important to you? The top three for me are Christian, spouse and parent. The other roles that I’m spending more time in are beach hanger outer (technical term), drummer, basketball coach, concert/live theatre goer, bourbon taster and national park attender. The top three roles require intentionality to do them well. All the other roles require planning. These are all things that I’m not waiting for retirement to do. I’m doing them now and I’m spending more time in them with each year that goes by. At Silvis Financial, we want to help you focus on the most important roles in your life along with the other roles in your life that you love to do. We want to come along side you as your guide to help you navigate the financial decisions that need to be made now to help you create the work optional lifestyle that you’ve been envisioning. As for me, I’m from St. Louis, MO. Die hard St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan. I majored in Economics at Vanderbilt University and played basketball there as well. I had a taste of professional basketball overseas before I settled into my career in financial services back in the late 90’s. Now it’s all about doing life with my wife and two kids. The roles listed above give a pretty good description of what I like to do when I’m not engaged in the business.
