I’m excited to connect, learn, and eventually contribute as I gain experience.Feel free to drop your wisdom or recommendations—I’m all ears!

Try a Google search for managers or look for an investors group in the area that can provide personal recommendations.1.

I have already met with and spoken with a couple through my current work (both active and recently "retired") that didn't seem all that eager to get into the topic, or interested even offering advice beyond "I wouldn't recommend it."
