Very professional, caring, highly educated and experienced. Detailed explanations and able to read my concerns with the ability to break down the difference in options while explaining the merits of each from a risk vs reward aspect. Very concerned over my concerns and addressed each to not only me, but also my wife. It was as if she was teaching both of us at difference levels of intellectual education and never missing a beat or losing either of us.
