Kevin Stone was raised in the suburbs of Chicago. At age 18 he sought the opportunity to live in San Diego and attend San Diego State University. He graduated, 1990, with a B. S. Degree in Business Administration. His focus while at SDSU was in the area of Financial Services and Real Estate. He says, "The Financial Services Major at SDSU was specifically targeted to provide the knowledge for someone wanting to help individuals/couples/families manage their personal finances. It was a great program. I felt lucky to have had the experience as many colleges did not offer such a tailored education in this area."

While at college he began his career, 1989, by working for a Fee Only financial planning company in La Jolla. After graduation he was offered a full time position. He says, "My title was Case Writer. I basically did all of the research for the comprehensive financial plans then organized the results into a nice easy to read report. The clients were really getting a great value. Unlike most of the industry, we weren’t selling any specific financial product. Our advice and planning was objective and right to the point."

Excited to have an increased role working directly with clients, Kevin decided to make a change. Timing was perfect as he was introduced to Lee Crawford, President of Crawford Capital Management, Inc. "We hit it off instantly. Lee specifically designed his company to eliminate all conflicts of interest with his clients. We spoke the same language. And still do. Twenty two plus years later we still enjoy helping our clients organize and fine tune their financial lives."
