COSTA MESA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Steve Baker has served in the financial services industry since 2005, beginning his career as a financial advisor for Smith Barney. Working with both clients and other advisors has given Steve the necessary skills to be a very successful wholesaler. As a wholesaler, he has primarily focused on alternative investments, private placements and mutual funds.
