Joe Harrish still adheres to the core values he first embraced in the Air Force at age 19 - Integrity, Service Before Self and Excellence In All We Do. From self-described "humble beginnings," Joe has spent his entire life building meaningful relationships in the military and civilian community. He spent 22 highly-decorated years in active-duty in the Air Force where he won numerous awards at every level. One of his biggest accomplishments was being named the Air Force's Company Grade Officer of the Year for his entire career field. During the final decade of his military career, he knew he had a higher calling. He entered the financial services industry while he was still on active-duty, and he has spent two decades helping others change their financial futures. Now part of the team at Prime Capital Investment Advisors (PCIA), he is a fee-based financial advisor and fiduciary working with high net-worth individuals, upper management executives, medical professionals and business owners. Joe has a bachelor's degree in organizational management and holds a Series 65 registration.
