Holly Fulton
Co-owner, Financial Advisor
Holly P. D. Fulton grew up in Vermont, including playing high school basketball for Rollie.

She is involved in all aspects of the business, but particularly enjoys finding holistic solutions for clients that help them reach their financial goals. What makes being part of CIC special for her is the relationships that develop over the years, relationships that blur the distinction between client & friend. Outside of work, you might find Holly in her garden, in her kayak, or maybe part way up Mount Abe, trying to figure out whether she is listening to a magnolia warbler or a chestnut-sided warbler.
