As President, Lorri brings clarity and vision to the firm from both the public and private sectors.

She co-founded Gap Financial and coordinates the efforts of a team of credentialed advisors to fill that gap. In her spare time, Lorri is a published freelance writer and volunteers with many organizations associated with her church and her child's school.
