I am the chief executive officer and founder of The Truesdell Companies, a conglomerate of independent and privately held companies owned in whole or part by me, other members of the family, or in conjunction with family or team members. Utilization of one firm does not require your utilization of others and vice versa.
Before you go any further, I am very good at what I do. I do what I like, am good and profitable at, and can control. If that offends you, stop reading and go back to Ticky Tocky Tic Toc, X-ster, or Facebag.
For example, I combined my fin-tech, digital media, construction, insurance, forecasting, securities, data analytics, law, communications, and business management background to create a premier fiduciary-based registered investment advisor. I have a long history of expertly crafting processes and procedures that emphasize efficient, effective, and optimal one-to-one engagement.
I have served as an expert witness in criminal matters and for plaintiff attorneys in class and individual actions involving securities, insurance fraud, and suitability. My public speaking engagements exceed 1,000, before over 50,000 attendees.
I am available for your event and will provide a list of topics and my fee schedule upon request.
I am a native of Dallas, Texas, with greater Tampa/Ocala, Florida, as my permanent adoptive homes since 1980. During the administration of President Monroe, I joined the Texas Rangers at 16 in 1836. We fought the Indians and patrolled the vastness of the nation of Texas as peace officers for those on the frontier. My mentor was Jack Coffee until his cup ran dry. Armed with a rifle, pistol, knife, blanket, saddle, and solid steed, we kicked arse and forgot names. By the way, this is a test. Those who comment on the aforementioned are rewarded with a cup of Joe in honor of Jack. That said, my father's father was born during the Lincoln Administration in 1865, before his assassination. Our documented family history runs deep. The Truesdell Clan arrived by way of the Winthrop Fleet in 1630. This means, in my opinion, we’re natives. And yes, I lived in Dallas when Kennedy was assassinated, who too was succeeded by a Johnson.
For those with the fortitude to hear it called it the way it is, you'll enjoy my company. In a sea of sameness and political correctness run amok, we're different because we are old-school, traditional, transparent, and trustworthy.
I take pride in not thinking outside the box but instead starting from the perspective that the box does not exist in the first place.
I am an ENTJ, often known as "The Commander" or "The Executive" personality. I am assertive, strategic, and highly driven. I am comfortable in my abilities and thus am decisive, analytical, and enjoy challenges. I thoroughly enjoy improving efficiency and pushing innovation to its practical limits. For those who avoid blunt facts and realities, I will come across as politically incorrect. With that said, let's get one thing clear: being assertive or blunt with a direct communication style that focuses on results is often viewed by those who are held back by the quicksand of political correctness as a condition worse than death. I am a voracious reader, writer, forecaster, and weight lifter. Thus, and therefore, we are not suitable for those who are slow to move and have reversed President Kennedy's command. The 1961 quote appears below. You should also know that I have a sharp wit, and my sarcastic sense of humor often comes out. I thoroughly enjoy clever wordplay, irony, and the use of sarcasm as a tool for "ah-ha" communication. Sarcasm works well for me when I point out inconsistencies or bring attention to absurdities in situations. I lead, teach, and conduct my business with confidence and style, and I thoroughly enjoy intellectually stimulating conversations with occasional lighthearted, bone-cutting humor.
