History
Established in 1976.
Gary Pendleton founded the company in 1976 while he was still a colonel in the North Carolina National Guard. He was able to continue serving the country, ultimately achieving the rank of Brigadier General, while building his growing business. As he would in a military campaign, "The General," as he is affectionately known throughout the community, grew the business while seeking opportunity amongst the noise of the marketplace. He and his team helps you design and execute a plan built specifically for you and your company.

We leverage the individual powers of our teammates and strengths of our national alliances to strategically plan your business and personal strategies.
