  Beginning his career in finance, Jim spent over 25 years on Wall Street. For more than half that time, Jim was an owner of a small NYSE member firm. Having been a small business owner himself, Jim understands the challenges a company faces in navigating a changing business environment. He earned an M.B.A. in Finance from New York University (now known as the Stern School of Business) that gave him many tools with which to grow and enhance his business. Whether during his years in the finance industry, or in recent years in media and energy efficient solutions, Jim always strives to provide his clients with the answers to their problems. By listening to his client's story, learning about their business and the pitfalls they face, Jim can help with his experience and insights. Show less
