KENNETH KAWAMOTO

Profession: Investment Broker
Birthplace: Fort Ord, California
Position: Vice President/Financial Consultant, Smith Barney Inc

en Kawamoto has come a long way since his first job washing dishes at Denny's. He currently manages 400 clients and $125 million and belongs to the President's Council, an honor reserved for the top 10% of Smith Barney's 10,000 brokers. But memories of the days of cold calling and "overcoming rejection while trying to develop a 'book' of clients remains vivid.
     "Don't expect the financial rewards to come immediately," he advises those entering the field. "It takes years of hard work to develop the confidence and trust of clients. When developing your book of clients, invest conservatively and provide service to guarantee long term relationships. Also, take time for vacations!"
     Kawamoto is married to Patricia Kawamoto and they have three children--Lauren, Nicole and Kyle.
