 Five Star Professional is pleased to announce David Bezar, Thrive Capital Management, LLC, has been chosen as a Five Star Wealth Manager for 2016. 

 

“Our Success is not built on what we accomplish for ourselves, rather its foundation lies in what we do for others,” said David Bezar of Thrive. “At Thrive Capital Management, LLC, our mission is to be recognized as a preeminent financial planning firm in providing exceptional customer service, trusted advice, superior, and cost effective solutions to families, individuals, and small business owners.”
