Jim earned his B.S. in Business Administration from Southern Methodist University in 1983. He is a six-time Top 100 Advisor as ranked by Worth Magazine, a three-time Top 100 Independent Advisor for Barron’s, and is consistently ranked as a FIVE STAR? Wealth Manager.

He executes this practice in developing his own team of financial advisors.
