3. WHY IS FINANCIAL PLANNING IMPORTANT?
“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan in which we must
fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other
route to success. ” – Pablo Picasso

4. WHY WORK WITH US?
“Professional advice can be expensive, but bad advice will
cost you a fortune.” - Wendell Charles Kirkpatrick
OUR STORY: Evan’s grandfather, Wendell Charles Kirkpatrick, was a 40+ year
physician, real estate investor, and stock market enthusiast. Wendell sold a highly
appreciated property and placed it into a charitable remainder trust when Evan
was a teenager. That sparked the idea for WCF, a company that could help people
maximize their wealth and use it for good.
