Taking a few trips around the sun, and sharing life’s wisdom
with retired Air Force and commercial airline pilot Crosby
Ruff.
When someone sees you at a professional investing conference
and says, “Hey, I really like your stuff,” you know that’s a
pathway to making a new and deep friendship.
That’s how Jim and former Air Force and Delta Airlines pilot
Crosby Ruff met. And after enjoying a beer together, Jim and Crosby
discovered they had a whole lot more in common than just the
military and a love of investing.
