I founded The Hale Law Firm in 2006, providing estate planning, probate, trust administration, and business transaction services. Within a few years, the firm grew to become a boutique elder law firm, emphasizing long-term care financing and assisting with senior housing and care options.
I am a graduate of Texas Tech University School of Law, and I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Finance at Baylor University. My wife, Candice, and I have three children – Samantha, Madelyn, and John Thomas.
With that background, I decided to put my passion for portfolio management to work full time and pursue a career as an investment advisor. I have both personal and professional experience with a variety of investments and strategies. Being married to a CPA, I have great respect and appreciation for partnering with other experts for a variety of needs and look to incorporate as needed.
At Worth, I work with a great team to utilize a variety of solutions and proven strategies. The love for what we do, our guiding philosophies, and integrity truly set us apart and enable us to help you.
I had a very enriching corporate career working with CPA's, Attorneys, and CIO's both in private practice and with corporations. Because of their stories of client situations and my dad suffering significant losses from a transactional broker that fueled my passion for making a positive impact with integrity for people with their financial decisions and keeping them out of the hands of ill advice.
I have successfully managed family finances for many years and have both insurance AXA Equitable and large wirehouse background of Morgan Stanley and RBC. I am pleased to be with an Independent RIA to have the broadest of resources with no bias toward any company products for families and business owners. I value comprehensive planning and strategy to set the course for clarity and confidence for your financial future.
As a financial planner, my philosophy is rooted in my experience as a teacher, where I learned early on in my professional career the importance of explaining complicated concepts in understandable terms. My passion is to work with a select group of clients to help them achieve their financial goals with confidence and clarity.
I earned my B.A. in Education at the State University of New York and my MBA in Finance from Saint Joseph’s University. Additionally, I am proud to be a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER (CFP®), Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP), Chartered Retirement Plan Counselor (CRPC), and a Certified College Financial Consultant (CCFC).
From my four years of active ARMY in the Infantry and my experience during two major economic recessions, I always strive to avoid significant losses. “Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.”
My planning philosophy is that no one wants their financial life to be complex, so I make financial topics simple. My goal is to educate people to understand their financial picture and how it all fits together efficiently. I am passionate about helping people understand their financial vision and turn it into a reality.
My wife Natalie, a first-grade teacher, and I have been married for over 21 years with twin girls in college (War Eagle! & Sic ‘em Bears!). Now that we are empty-nesters, our time is spent traveling anywhere and everywhere together simply for new experiences. Outside of my faith and my family, I enjoy outdoor smoking and grilling.
Utilizing my background in these disciplines, I advise individuals, families, and businesses in a broad range of financial matters with expertise in investment portfolio management, retirement, tax, estate, and business succession planning in addition to pension plan and trust design.
Before joining Worth Asset Management in 2021, I served as Senior Vice President for Bank of New York subsidiaries Pershing LLC until founding my own registered investment advisory firm, Harbor Wealth Management, Inc, from 2009 to 2021.
I live in Prosper with my very best friend and wife, Lisa. We have two daughters and enjoy spending time with our precious grandchildren. A Texas outdoorsman at heart, my daily hobbies include managing our fruit orchard, vegetable gardens, and beehives.
Jim is an alumnus of the University of Texas at Dallas having graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematical Sciences with a concentration in Statistics.
Jim has three successful adult children, Gabrielle, Kennedi and Jett and enjoys coaching boys club volleyball in his free time. Winning 2 gold & 1 bronze medal at Junior Olympic National Championships.
Ukrainian born, I moved to the United States at the age of five to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I completed my education at Washington State University and started my career journey with a focus on legal administration and corporate operations. My true passion is in serving people and my method of doing so is by finding simplicity in chaos. In other words, I am eager to handle logistically complex matters so you don’t have to.
Being raised in the Northwest, I developed a love for the outdoors. You can find me on a hike, fishing with my husband or eagerly planning a family vacation to Hawaii so I can swim in the ocean all day. I have always been drawn to the sunshine lifestyle and feel incredibly blessed to have moved to Dallas, TX with my husband in 2022.

Worth’s representatives and financial advisors build long term relationships with their customers. There is no pressure to produce more revenue or new accounts, which frees them to really understand their customer’s financial goals and aspirations.
There is a significant distinction between investment management and wealth management. Investment management focuses on asset allocation and return. It measures success by the performance of individual assets and a portfolio’s performance overall.

Our wealth management goal is not merely what our customers make on a quarter-to-quarter basis, but rather what they can count on through retirement.
