At this time it unclear the nature and scope of McGinnis’ outside business activities and private securities transactions.  However, according to McGinnis’ public records his outside business activities includes Orchards of AZ LLC, a real estate business.  Often times, brokers sell promissory notes and other investments through side businesses as accountants, lawyers, or insurance agents to clients of those side practices.

McGinnis entered the securities industry in 1987.  Since July 2008 through September 2015 McGinnis has been associated with RBC Capital Markets, LLC.
