In the future, I plan to continue to help my clients and to help grow Highcap's footprint in the industry.

If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? I'm single, so it would be a girl who I can see spending the rest of my life with, location not important.
What is your dream job? I'm at it.
