Our Crew
It Begins With All Hands on Deck
While you will have a primary relationship with an individual Mainsail advisor, you are actually getting an entire crew. In fact, we make it a point at the outset of every relationship to engage all of our team members in getting to know new clients and the fundamentals of their investment objectives.
Over time, we continue to collaborate on your needs as only a small company can do. You'll be a stranger to no one here, nor will any of us be to you. The service ethic here runs deep and company-wide. What needs to be done for a client is acomplished competently and quickly by whoever is on deck and able to help.
Mainsail staff members are fully on board for working with attorneys, accountants and others who provide you with professional services. Whatever keeps you moving ahead is what counts with us.

The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, mostly gained through telephone and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of seven years of experience, and the algorithm weights factors like revenue trends, assets under management, compliance records, industry experience and those that encompass best practices in their practices and approach to working with clients. Portfolio performance is not a criteria due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Out of approximately 34,925 nominations, more than 6,550 advisors received the award. This ranking is not indicative of an advisor's future performance, is not an endorsement, and may not be representative of individual clients' experience. Neither Raymond James nor any of its Financial Advisors or RIA firms pay a fee in exchange for this award/rating. Raymond James is not affiliated with Forbes or Shook Research, LLC.
