All Metals Fabricating was founded in 1953, and my grandfather, Bill Thrailkill, purchased the company in 1978. Joined by my father and our current President, Billy Thrailkill, they quadrupled the sales of AMF in the first year. From there they continued to grow the company, primarily by building parts for the rapidly growing telecommunications industry in the 80’s and 90’s. Read more>>

I started my financial planning career in 2000 with American Express Financial Advisors. In the beginning, it was getting referrals from my natural market, giving seminars to anyone who would listen, and cold calling. Over time I built up my client base and am fortunately in a place where I can spend all my time loving on my existing clients. Read more>>

As a pretty independent teenager of the ’60s, I can assure you I behaved more out of stupidity. I was kind of a spoiled rich kid with an eye on the underserved, someone who always gravitated toward those who were less fortunate, and greatly “participated” in the counterculture of the times.

Now as I sit here thinking about the past year, and how far we have come, I still can’t believe it’s real. Or that I am in charge haha. When I left the Army in 2012, as a burned out combat medic, I found myself suddenly completely lost, rudderless. Read more>>
