"I have had the privilege of working with Tom Potts, President and CEO of Fiduciary Trust Services, Inc., since 2004. Tom was involved from the very start as Burke, Inc. established our ESOP. Tom's guidance was critical as we went through the first few years of growing pains. Tom is not only knowledgeable when it comes to this very complicated benefit plan but he also has a large ranging network of contacts that he freely shares. The access to this network is as valuable to a start up ESOP as is Tom's knowledge. Probably the most significant attribute that Tom possesses, however, is his passion for ESOP's. It is exciting to work along side someone who feels as strongly about this wonderful employee benefit as we do..."
