I have moved my practice to Hilltop Securities, Inc..

HilltopSecurities is a unique blend of financial strength, deep industry knowledge, and years of experience. But that’s only part of the story.

Our firm was born out of the fusion of two respected and successful firms with complementary business lines: First Southwest Company, a broker-dealer founded in 1946 and known for its municipal advisory practice, and Southwest Securities Inc., a full-service broker-dealer since 1972.

As part of Hilltop Holdings, a well-capitalized and publicly traded parent company, we’re backed by a strong and diverse financial services enterprise. One that’s focused on moving our clients forward. Nothing better represents this than our iconic buffalo mascot, “Mo,” a symbol for our collective strength, unified force, and the unstoppable momentum of an advancing herd.

You’d think that a man, by age 50, knows what he likes and yet…

My whole life I have lived in urban and suburban places. If you’d have asked me at age 50 whether I’d ever be living in the country, I’d probably have said that you’re nuts … and yet, here I am, living in the country, in the middle of nowhere, Bedias, Texas… and I’m truly loving it.

Stepping out of the house late in the evening, with no trains, planes and automobiles nearby, Jupiter, Venus and Scorpio scattered across the dark sky overhead, and a gentle breeze rustling in the trees, what place could be more fulfilling than this?

I’m so grateful to have discovered this place, and this side of myself. Life is meant to be a place of continuous discovery and wonder. The picture below of my grandnephew at our little pond captures this spirit so well.

Today and every day, we respectfully honor the legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

As the hurricanes approach, our thoughts are with everyone in the affected areas. Please stay safe.
