Mr. Gunn graduated from California State University, Northridge in 1974 receiving a B.S. in business administration with emphasis in accounting and joined a national CPA firm. He left public accounting for the real estate syndication, development and management industry, ultimately as partner and president in a group of companies that syndicated and developed over 100 apartment properties throughout the US, most of which were profitably closed out and the remainder continue to operate.
With the cessation of real estate syndication
in the late 1980s, Mr. Gunn formed Gunn Financial Associates to provide financial, retirement and investment services for high income and net worth clients. With its reputation for competence, integrity, attention to detail and the ability to communicate with clients and meet their needs, its client base continues to increase through referrals from clients and
