All I can say is WOW!!!!  Time certainly waits for nobody, and 4Pines is no exception to the rule.  I thought for sure I’d have posted another blog entry by now, but unfortunately that hasn’t materialized.  However, we’ve been very busy building the company from a personnel and technology standpoint.  Both aspects are core tenants to the fabric of 4Pines so it’s important that we take our time and get it right.

Welcome to 4Pines Fund Services

Hi everyone!! My name is Mike Trinkaus and I’m the CEO and Co-Founder of 4Pines Fund Services. Before I go into who and what we are at 4Pines, I’ll preface this first post with I’ve never “blogged” before now, so please forgive any rudimentary / obvious mistakes that an experienced blogger might otherwise avoid. We’re all experiencing unprecedented times and adapting both personally and professionally, so chalk this up as one of those “growing” moments for me.
