Dick founded Spinnaker with a vision to build a wealth management firm differentiated by exceptional client service, a disciplined investment process, quality of asset allocation and planning advice, and a commitment to servicing each client's unique financial thumbprint. He realized this vision by cultivating a firm-wide culture committed to the client's best interests and by developing the critical attributes of an exceptional wealth management practice.
