Wealth Advisor - Portfolio
Manager
"I originally came into the wealth management business during perhaps the stock market's most popular period ever; the mid-eighties. I was truly passionate about the Financial Markets but looking back over the years it is not at all the markets that have provided me with the best memories but rather the many relationships and strong friendships that have developed as a result of client interactions. I've come to know some wonderful people and the beauty of it is that I will continue to meet more and this is why I love what I do."
Semir was born in 1952 in the then British Colony of the Sudan to a Sudanese diplomat and a British mother. Although he has been a U.S. citizen and has lived in the U.S. for most of his life he spent his early childhood in (chronological order) Sudan, England, France, Germany and finally Washington D.C. Although Semir values the education and cultural enrichment he gained from his international travel, he wholeheartedly claims that nothing matches travelling throughout the United States, citing Washington D.C., New York, Boston, Seattle, Phoenix, Hawaii, and of course his home state of California as his favorites.
