Jeff Waters founded OFC Wealth Management, LLC in 2005 with the idea that busy professionals don't have the time to keep track of their finances in the ever-changing financial landscape.

Jeff believes that engaging a firm of experienced financial planning professionals with deep expertise can help you create the peace of mind that you seek.

Jeff's entire career has been in the financial services industry, and he has worked on challenging investment and management issues at a high level. During his seventeen years on Wall Street, he covered some of the top institutional investors as a research salesman at Salomon Brothers. Subsequently, as Associate Director of U.S. Equity Research at Salomon Smith Barney, he managed the day-to-day operations of the #1 ranked Equity Research Department.

Jeff has a BA in Economics from Yale University and an MBA degree from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
