YOU ARE INVITED TO THE MEN’S BREAKFAST MEETING TOMORROW AT 10 AM. AT BETHEL NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. Mr. Elliot Omarson will be our guest speaker.

Mr. Omanson was honored recently as one of the Ambassadors for Peace by the Universal Peace Federation. He entered the Financial business after serving in the US Army. During that time, he watched his two younger brothers build their career as Investment Advisors. Being able to capitalize on their experiences allowed him to identify early on what kind of firm he wanted to be a part of.

Earning his Series 7, 66 and Life and Health licenses and joining Sage Financial Inc. as an Independent Investment Advisor Representative gave him the opportunity to learn from a family that brought the values he was looking for to the financial investment business.

That foundation continues to be the foundation upon which everything he does today rests.
Serving in the Military, and helping people in war torn countries, truly gave him a sense of pride. Knowing he was able to help people in such circumstances, brought a level of enjoyment to his work he did not feel he would ever experience again. Serving as an Investment Advisor Representative has continued to allow him the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.

He purchased Sage Financial Inc. and re-branded the company to OWLFI. They have moved locations and expanded. They launched OWLFI Tax and Accounting and OWLFI Insurance. They have partnered with the Law Offices of DD Clark. His company has in house professionals of legal, tax, insurance, and Medicare specialty's all in an effort to better serve their clients.

Through it all they continue to hold to the values and ethics the Sharp family brought to Sage Financial and will continue to do so regardless of how they grow.

Please join us if you are interested. A delicious breakfast and a wonderful speaker is waiting for you!
