Keino essentially adopts these children giving them her name. HOPE Inc. has supported Hopewell High School in Nakuru, Kenya for over 20 years. It’s always rewarding. Today, we also support youth services in Kings County like Refuge Armona and the Kings Art Center. Our leadership includes Rotarian Rushi Panchal and Todd Cotta.”

Valley Strong Bank

Jason Usher“I have had the privilege of working for Valley Strong Credit Union for the last four years. As a Credit Union that offers full service commercial banking and lending, we have a unique approach when engaging with our business members. It’s our unique approach and culture that has been and continues to be refreshing not only for myself, but for our members! And we’ve been doing it since 1938. We’ve served the people of the Valley with the same strength, resilience, integrity, and forward-thinking optimism we see reflected in them. As our region has grown, so have we. We serve the Central Valley communities in Solano, San Joaquin, Kings, Tulare, and Kern County. Above all else, we remain rooted in our commitment to quality financial products and services — whether for a small self-employed business owner or a Fortune 500 company.”

In addition, I’ve assembled a fine team of financial experts, including Robert Butts, one of the few experts in the area for 1031 DST Exchanges; and, our newest find, Karen Feuerstein, CPA, who brings her expertise and experience in accounting to the firm.”
