Board of Directors

My team and I help busy professionals create a plan to have a work optional lifestyle.  We start this process by doing a deep dive into the current financial situation, risk comfort zone, and help our clients turn their dreams into very specific measurable goals that are quantified under a timeline.  Then, we take a 360 degree look for potential blind spots that could prevent us from reaching these goals and create strategies to manage these obstacles.

A native Floridian, Patti Sutherland, and avid animal lovers, Patti, and her husband Dick, have adopted and raised five Boxers, three King Charles Cavaliers and fostered/adopted (called Foster Failures) many others. 
 
In October of 2019, a friend shared a sample of a new health and wellness product.  As a long time legal assistant, she was always trying to lose weight.  The shakes were delicious and so good for you.  She and her husband committed to having a shake and taking an energy pill every day.  At the end of the first 90 days, Patti had lost 30 lbs.
 
This has had a big impact on her health and as she continued to lose weight, people were asking her what she was doing as she was running circles around the younger staff in the office.  Once she started sharing QuiAri, she found the extra income enabled her to retire from that desk job and become a full time promoter for QuiAri.
