Personal Philosophy
Lou Holtz, former NCAA and NFL football coach and renowned motivational speaker, says that at the base of any strong relationship lie three questions:

  • Can I trust you?
  • Are you committed?
  • Do you care about me?

Based upon these questions, Mr. Meissner has developed his own personal philosophy upon which he operates his practice.  He will do what is right and honest.  He will put forth the appropriate effort to ensure plans and strategies are appropriately designed.  Finally, he will treat others as he would want to be treated.  These three tenets act as the foundation for his actions and his relationships with clients.
