If you were stranded in the desert, what 3 things would you want to have with you and why:

“A dune buggy, plenty of fuel, water. Just too practical.”

If you were not a financial advisor, you would be:

“An inventor, an educator, one who fixes things.”

What makes you happy:

“Finding problems and solving them before they happen, or at least before they get worse.”

Three words that describe Kelly:

“Modest enough to suggest one should ask those who know me – or, better yet, get to know me!”
