Week 1 Blog Introduction

 Hello everyone, welcome to my blog page. My name is Freddy Garcia I am Registered Investment Advisor and Certified Financial Planner. I currently work at Left Brain Wealth Management a boutique wealth management firm that specializes in working with high net worth investors. I have been in the Financial services field now for over twenty years. I received my Bachelors degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from Augustana College. After working in my field for ten years I completed the course work through Kaplan University for the CFP designation and passed the mastery test. I enjoy learning and am always looking to improve my professional skills and business knowledge so that is my reason for pursuing my MBA. Almost all of my classes have been virtual so far but I really would like to connect with my fellow MBA students so please send me a LinkedIn request.

 I currently both live and work in Naperville, IL. My family came from Mexico and we settled on the South Side of Chicago where I was raised. Even though I live in the west suburbs of Chicago I will always be a South Sider and a White Sox fan. I enjoy watching sports and movies and exercising  especially jogging and going for walks. I love learning about history, investments and trivia and enjoy discussions about religion, investments and politics. My favorite thing to do in the world is to spend time with my three kids they are my true passion. I have three kids all teenagers and they are my absolute pride and joy. My daughter will start college this fall at the University of Colorado and I am so proud of her and all the work she put in to get there. My son will be staring his Senior year and then off to college next year and has spent the summers interning in my office and would possibly like to take over the business one day. My youngest is excited to start her high school career and join some of the same activities her sister was in.

I  look forward to learning more about social media marketing and getting to know my fellow classmates.
