About Me

Michael Paulding Thomas Financial Advisor, Registered Representative, Securities Principal Series 6, 26, 63, 65, Life

Since 1989 I’ve tried to build my business by offering a second opinion to those who may need investment advice. As a result, my business now comes almost exclusively via introductions from existing clients. So, if you’re approached by a friend who may have questions about investing, please let them know that I will find the time to listen, and I’ll do my best to help.
