Bill Hanks

Bill Hanks is a recently retired 25 year veteran of Wall Street-the last 11 years as co-founder and co-manager of a Registered Investment Advisory firm specializing in "fund of funds" asset management. Bill is a product of the 70s, having graduated Edison High School (Tulsa, OK) in 1975, and Austin College (Sherman, TX) in 1980 with a B.S. in Business Administration.

In 1996, Bill recognized a problem with drugs and alcohol, and subsequently checked himself into a treatment center. As a result, Bill, in a volunteer capacity, taught weekly classes on recovery for ten years at the rehab center that helped him to help himself fourteen years ago. Having personally worked with approximately eight thousand patients in recovery, he provided Twelve-Step based support and teachings to those in need.

Although Bill continues to teach in a volunteer capacity, he also brings "awareness program" to church and school settings to our susceptible young people. His motto, "I would rather deploy 'prevention factors' now versus 'damage control' later."

Bill lives in Tulsa and is a proud father of two, daughter Ryan and a son, Patrick, both of whom are in college.
