Dear SEC,

I am the founder and owner of Everlong Financial, a fee-only, registered investment adviser firm in Austin, TX. I am a Certified Financial Planning professional and have worked as an adviser for 14 years.

I started my career as a broker/dealer with my Series 6 and 63 licenses. After 5 years, I dropped my licenses, earned my CFP designation, and have been practicing as a registered investment adviser for the last 10 years.

I strongly support the comments put forth by Michael Kitces in his public letter to the SEC with regards to the Standard of Conduct for Investment Advisers and hope the Commission takes his comments into consideration for the benefit of the public.
