“In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” -Matthew 25:40

As the founder of Capital Investment Advisers in 1999 and an area resident for over 25 years, I am grateful for the many blessings I have received since planting roots in Long Beach in 1992.  I have established my career here, met my wife here, raised my family here, and found my church here. I believe that as a business owner, church leader, and member of this community, I have a responsibility to serve others, to do what I can to help bless the lives of those who Robert F. Kennedy referred to as “having no voice”- our brothers and sisters living in the shadows, on the forgotten margins of life. Below are a few endeavors that I offer as service opportunities to you my valued clients and friends. Whether a donation of your time, or possibly resources you bring to one of our strategy meetings, I thank you in advance for any assistance you may feel inspired to contribute to these worthy causes - Emerson Fersch
