Santoren Inc.

August 2006 — Present (2 years 5 months)

Santoren is a Registered Investment Advisory firm providing investment services to private clients. I am responsible for all trading decisions and operations at the company.

As of November 30, 2008, I achieved a positive return of 44.6% for an average of all accounts under my management (after all fees), as compared to a negative return of S&P500 of 39.0%.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investing involves risk, including the risk of loss of principal.

The services include portfolio management, estate planning, and business development services.
