About Robert Fritton

I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona the valley of the sun.

Growing up, I was lucky to have four parents as my mom and dad divorced while my sister and I were quite young.  My mother was a Catholic school teacher.  My father a real estate agent.  My step-mother was a mortgage underwriter and my step-father a civil engineer.  I was blessed with diversity through this journey.

I attended private school through 8th grade, public school through high school and Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona.  I was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity where I made life long friends.

After college, I really started to spread my wings.  I moved to Maui, Hawaii for close to three years - no greater place to live some believe.  After a few years, I traveled around the world as a first mate on private charter yachts.  I have a PADI open water scuba instructor license and a US Coast Guard license. 

During the yachting days I met my wonderful bride Venisa.  We decided to settle in Washington State as we have an abundance of water and a vibrant local economy.  We have two wonderful girls- Emma and Lily.  Venisa works for a non-profit "Olive Crest" helping abused and neglected children.

My greatest achievement is our work with foster children.  We were lucky to adopt our younger daughter through this process.  To give back, during my spare time I serve as President of the Board of Trustees for Olive Crest here in the PNW.

I look forward to meeting you and learning about all of your wonderful accomplishments!

About Curt Haldorson

I was born and raised in north central Oregon in the scenic Columbia Gorge.

Both of my parents were Government employees. My mom worked for the State of Oregon and dad, for Federal Farm Credit bureau. My mom taught me at an early age how important it was to have a savings discipline. As a case worker for the Adult and Family Services division of Oregon I would follow her on various “take your kid to work” days. That exposure taught me that life is tough! And that the choices you make in life “will” have a future impact. What I didn’t realize, at the time, was that those experiences would lead me to a career in health care.

After graduating from high school, I attended Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls Oregon. During my second year of college my Dad died from a heart attack. Even before receiving my diploma I knew what I wanted to do.

I earned my Bachelors Degree in Medical Imaging and I was hired on as a Cardiovascular Specialist at a Hospital in Everett WA. My focus, as one of the licensed X-ray Techs, was to be involved at all levels during cardiac and interventional radiology procedures. Patient education, team work and procedure protocol was what I lived and breathed day and night for almost eleven years. Every day my team had a plan!

I transitioned out of health care to a family partnership at Smith Barney where I utilized the business component of my education to earn my CFP®.

Life teaches us many lessons. Ask questions, be a good listener, use your skills to help others and to give back. Most important – because life happens really fast, have a plan!  

During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two incredible daughters- fluent in "kitchen"- and an active outdoorsman and craftsman.
