Holly
I’m Lori Brillhart, your new Coffeehouse blogger, the newest member of the Coffeehouse Investor team. I am married, with a fourteen year-old son, and a precious Lab/English Spaniel mix. While I am a lifelong learner, and enjoy new and challenging experiences, my passions include spending time with family and friends (and beloved dog); I also have a passion for tennis, serving on the Board of Tennis Outreach Programs, and I love to golf, hike, get out on the water, read, and watch movies. A little known fact about me is that I am in search of the perfect dark chocolate bar; the research is relentless!!
For the past fifteen years, I have had a fantastic time as a tennis professional in the Greater Seattle area. Having coached kids as young as three and as young-at-heart as eighty-five, it has been a pleasure helping clients learn and grow, which has helped me grow some very deep relationships along the way. Additionally, I have enjoyed coaching high school and adult teams, and planning tennis events.
Somewhere along the way – about five or six years ago – I started to become interested in the world of investing, and, over time, began contemplating a career as a “financial coach,” using many of the same fundamentals and life-lessons I share with others when coaching tennis. These thoughts became dreams became actions, sparking a career in the financial services industry.
Having read The Coffeehouse Investor book years ago, the three principles resonated with me; a philosophy that continues to be a sustainable investment style in both good and bad markets. Lucky for me – I live in the Seattle area, close to where the Coffeehouse Investor was created twelve years ago.
My objective in writing this blog and sharing the Coffeehouse message with the world is simple: I feel energized when helping others reach their goals. Together I am going to work with Bill Schultheis (the creator of The Coffeehouse Investor), and most importantly, YOU, to accentuate its simple message to help all investors build wealth, ignore Wall Street, and get on with your lives.
If there are questions you wish to have answered, or you have ideas for a blog, please feel free to contact me, and I will do my best to address your requests. I look forward to your questions and comments as we embark on a very prosperous journey together.
Stay tuned, there is lots more to come.
