Thomas Guyett's financial planning career originated from his relationship as a Cantlon Financial Planning client. His former profession was turning around underperforming foodservice operations. In mid-2000, Tom and his business partners made a bid to purchase his latest successful turnaround (one that doubled sales from $1 million to $2 million in three years). Mr. Cantlon was advisor to Mr. Guyett's investment group. Mike became impressed with Tom's willingness to take on risk tempered with sound financial judgment. The deal did not consummate, at which time Mike suggested that he and Tom combine their strengths to add value to Mike's financial planning concern. Already familiar with Mikes investment methodology, Tom was a natural fit. He was a quick study in learning the fundamentals of financial planning and portfolio management. He attained full partner status in 2005.
