Labor Day
Labor Day. A day to break from work for time with the family.
On this Labor Day, Jacob F. Walker - great grandson of professor, educator and life-long central Kansan Jacob H. Doell, grandson of real estate businessman and life-long Kansan Thomas F. Walker, and son of life-long Kansan and District Court Chief Justice Richard B. Walker and career journalist and Young President's Organization veteran Martha M. Walker - took a break from his family for families.
Today, Mr. Walker announced his intent to form the private wealth specialty firm Walker Family Financial, a generational wealth advisory and private investment management firm specializing in strategic investment advice for the dynamic financial needs of multi-generational wealth families, organizations and closely-held businesses.
Mr. Walker delivered a clear mandate for the firm bearing his family's name: "Deliver honest advice, family to family," he said.
The Walker family has lived in central Kansas for over 100 years. Committed to public service, members of the Walker family have served, been elected, and been appointed to a wide range of positions in public and private education, in state and local government, and in the judiciary - their focus: fiduciary stewardship and service. Developing business specialties in real estate and services, the Walker family has also owned, operated and sold successful businesses.
Grandfather was the consummate entrepreneur of the family and retired at least six or seven times in his career. Even on the day he died at 81 years old, Grandfather went down to his office to check up on some business. That's just the man he was - always working for his family.-----
~ Mr. Walker, when asked about his family's businesses.
Today's announcement of the formation of Walker Family Financial is in anticipation of the firm's strategic plans to approach trusted advisory firms in regional communities seeking to develop new advisory business services, succession and continuity plans for their practices, and offer seemless, private labeled generational wealth advisory and private investment management services for their clients in 2009.
Born in Newton, Kansas, and after a career in private wealth management and real estate in San Francisco and New York City, Jacob F. Walker will serve as Principal & Chief Executive Officer of Walker Family Financial, LLC and will focus on investment strategy, private portfolio services, and business development & partnering relationships with registered representatives, private regional accounting firms and law firms who focus on family wealth advisory services.
