                PATRICK SMITH
                Senior Financial Advisor,
                President & Founder

                The foundation of Patrick's career started in 1972 with an education by Investors Diversified Services, the only firm to offer complete financial planning to the general public in the U.S. at that time. (Note: IDS was acquired by American Express in 1984, now known as Ameriprise Financial. When Ameriprise boasts in their ads of a history dating back to 1894, they are referring to the history of IDS.)

                ​

                Patrick's experience continued through the 1980s with one of the most innovative financial companies of our time, E. F. Hutton, where he served as the financial planner for the 6,000 clients of their Fort Worth office. Growing from that foundation, he has continued his service as an independent financial advisor to clients all across Texas and the surrounding states as president of Bering Financial. 

                 

                Patrick shares Wealth Awareness concepts every week on the radio as a regularly featured guest on "Believers In Business" with host Ron Taylor at 100.7fm, KWRD.

                ​

                On a personal note, Patrick loves and enjoys his family, the outdoors and golf. He is an active member of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas. He has seven children, four grandchildren and has been married to his wife Carol for 42 years.

                ​

                Patrick Smith is a Registered Representative holding Series 7 & 66 licenses, as well as licenses for Life & Health Insurance and Annuity instruments.
