GREG HAMMOND and Ron Ware are wealth impact strategists and personal legacy advisors who deeply believe in "living more and giving more." For over 20 years, each of them has helped individuals, families, and business owners enhance their financial standing while discovering a greater capacity to provide for their loved ones and support cherished charities. Their similar views on the meaning of personal wealth and complementary approach to helping clients align their resources with their passion, drew them together to co-author You Can Do More That Matters. The information, advice, and illustrations found in You Can Do More That Matters are drawn from their extensive wealth management experience. Both men are active in a Christian faith tradition that promotes using one's personal resources, gifts, and talents in service to others. "My father showed me through his actions and example that it's important to give back to the community, beyond supporting one's family," Greg says. "I feel, through my faith, that I'm called to do more. Each of us has been blessed with unique gifts. My profession allows me to leverage knowledge and experience to help others and make a tremendous impact in the world. That's what motivates me.""We encourage you to think differently about your money and your passion," say the authors. "To motivate you to assess what you are capable of doing to address the concerns and needs that move you... to act differently as you discover what you're actually able to do.

In short, we hope to help you to live more and give more."RON WARE is an attorney and financial planner.
