As a financial consultant, I focus on helping middle income families become debt free and financially independent. I do this by providing every family with a complimentary financial needs analysis that pinpoints how to reallocate the money already being spent in order to achieve their goals and dreams. We offer a variety of financial solutions including term life insurance, long term care insurance, mutual fund investments (IRA's, variable annuities, 529 plans, etc.), debt restructuring, mortgages, and legal protection. In New Jersey, we have just started offering quotes on auto and home insurance. For small businesses, we can offer 401K plans, group legal programs, and free financial analyses for every employee.
My video production business, David Gordon Productions, offers full-service video production, from conception through post-production, for corporations, government agencies and non-profit organizations. Our clients have included many well-known names including ITT Industries, Pitney Bowes, the Episcopal Church, and the New York State Dept. of Social Services.
I have recently begun teaching as an adjunct professor at several local community colleges. I have been enjoying the experience but I'm frustrated at the level of students who are graduating from our high schools.
