About Clint
Biography
I was raised in Southern California and married Katherine, the love of my life in 1979. We have five children and eight grandchildren, and counting... We raised our family in Mesa Arizona where I have worked my entire career. I have been involved with everything from Little League to United Way to junior high musicals, where I played the trumpet in the pit.
I love what I do. I give people peace of mind, setting up a Plan so their family won't have to hassle with a probate case. I especially enjoy helping small business owners and licensed professionals separate their personal wealth from their potential liabilities.
