“Our regional expansion continues as we attract additional talent for our team,” says John Hakopian, President, First Foundation Advisors. “Steve’s experience and background is a perfect fit for delivering our platform of comprehensive wealth management to our clients. He also maintains the same high level of commitment to client service as everyone on our team.”
