He leads a staff of eight while providing general dentistry and orthodontic services for his patients, many of whom have been patients since he first opened his doors. Dr. Berry values these relationships, just as he values the relationships he has at Valley Republic Bank. “I have known several of the officers at Valley Republic Bank for a number of years,” says Dr. Berry. “When they opened VRB, I had so much confidence in their talent and expertise in banking, I had no hesitation in moving my business to Valley Republic. Their level of service proved as vital as the Bank’s expertise.”

And they sometimes even tell us things we would rather not hear. But that’s life. Summer is well underway with barbecues, parties, daycations to the mountains— and the coast—yardwork—or just sort of catching up on chores.

BAKERSFIELD HAS MANY POPULAR SPOTS FOR MEN. Here are two that represent opposite ends of the imbibing spectrum. Temblor Brewing Company is Bakersfield’s top brewpub. It offers many in-house brewed craft beers, a lively crowd and great food. The Old-Fashioned Social Drinkery is dark and moody and offers only craft cocktails and beers. It’s a throwback to a city bar. Where you should go depends on your mood. If you have a big group of friends, Temblor may be your best pick. If you want a more intimate environment, try The Old-Fashioned Social Drinkery, but know that they don’t offer food. 18

The Mechanic Dr. Richard “Chip” Casteen To say that Dr. Richard Casteen, known as “Chip” to family and friends, is an accomplished dental surgeon, doesn’t even begin to describe the Bakersfield native’s amazing life journey. As an implant specialist, he thinks of himself as a “mechanic,” happy to take on the most challenging reconstructions—some might say, the dental basket cases. But he has also found time to give to others by providing dental services to natives in Guatemala through a Helps International mission—as a “Jungle Doc.” He spent some earlier years in modeling, pottery and stage acting. Additionally, he is active in Rotary International and a passionate supporter of Alpha Canine Sanctuary, a no-kill shelter in Bakersfield. A part-time resident of Ballard, he enjoys the tranquility of the Santa Ynez Valley— and the short flight he pilots to get there. CONTINUED >

The Nose

David Dobbs

Owner, Imbibe A lifetime native of Bakersfield, David Dobbs operates Imbibe, the premier wine and spirits business in Bakersfield. With 25 years in the wine business in both San Francisco and Los Angeles, David returned to Bakersfield in 2008 to raise a family and launch Imbibe. In fact, Imbibe is considered among only a handful of retailers nationally that cater to the extraordinary wines produced by boutique wineries around the globe. David brings so much more to life through charity and fundraising through his connection to Rotary Club. His greatest passion though, he insists, is as a mentor to young men dealing with challenging life situations. “Building trust and a willingness to change starts the process,” he says. “There’s just nothing more satisfying than helping a broken man achieve a personal breakthrough that positively changes a life path.”

At 6 feet 10 inches tall, Brad may be the tallest wealth manager you’ll ever meet. But Brad also has a warm and engaging style that has made him a successful financial adviser to hundreds of clients who depend on his sage wisdom, experience and execution to help them achieve financial security. As Entruity Wealth approaches its founding anniversary, he and son Andrew have built a leading edge wealth advisory firm. A lifelong Bakersfield native, Brad attended West High School and the University of Southern California where he majored in business.

The Brain Whisperer Dr. Mark Ashley CEO, Center for Neuro Skills Acquired brain injury is among the most complicated treatment scenarios in health care—as complicated, in fact, as the brain itself. Dr. Mark Ashley, founder and CEO of Bakersfield-based Centre for Neuro Skills—launched in 1980— says his path in life was largely shaped by an older brother who returned from Vietnam with a debilitating brain injury. He knew there had to be a better way. So inevitably, his life’s work, he shares, became to discover better clinical and treatment protocols for maximizing traumatic brain injury recovery outcomes. Based on available industry data, he believes that his patients achieve at least 25 percent better physical, behavioral/emotional and psychosocial outcomes. His practice treats 600 patients across its five California and Texas offices. When not working, he enjoys his seven grandchildren, all of whom live in Bakersfield.

The Inventor Angelo Mazzei Founder and CEO, Mazzei Injector Company Angelo Mazzei is a serial problem-solver in life with 22 patents to prove it. His unquenchable curiosity has led to many innovative products in the field of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with devices in industries as varied as agriculture, wine, swimming pool and spa, and municipal drinking and wastewater treatment. But his lifelong hobby and passion has been building street rods. Work he did early with automotive exhaust systems became the genesis of his first patent for the original Mazzei Injector in the ‘70s. He is active with the Western Street Rod Association and also finds time to serve on the boards of Cal State University Bakersfield, Valley Republic Bank and the Kern Agricultural Foundation. He and his co-founder and wife, Mary, enjoy semi-retirement today. His daughter, Celia, remains a driving force behind their CFD initiatives.

The Sound Artie Niesen Owner, Front Porch Music Bakersfield-born Artie Niesen has been a 40-year fixture in the local music scene. His passion runs across many genres. Front Porch Music, which he opened in 1978, has become a go-to spot for top musicians—including the Stray Cats, Sheryl Crow and Joe Bonamassa—in search of vintage instruments. In fact, he has collected a significant number of Bakersfield-made Mosrite guitars, made famous in the ‘60s by the Ventures. Their unique sound and “fast” neck make them highly sought after, 65 years later. Though his Polish-born mother tried to teach him the polka, he naturally gravitated toward rock and country. As a drummer, Artie has played with many bands over the years. His Yorkie, Ginger, who is particularly fond of tacos, keeps him company every day at the store. 26

FINANCIAL BUZZ

RELATIONSHIP INVESTING, QUANTITATIVELY SPEAKING ARTICLE A.P. WHYTE

ENTRUITY WEALTH USES RISKALYZE TO ASSESS CLIENT RISK TOLERANCE “GETTING TO KNOW YOU, GETTING TO KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU …” THE OLD ROGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN SONG FROM THE MUSICAL “THE KING AND I” DESCRIBES HOW THE NEW GOVERNESS PLANS ON ESTABLISHING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE KING’S CHILDREN. The song talks about the give-and-take of establishing a meaningful basis for a connection. The key to any positive relationship is mutual respect.

A series of questions calculates what’s referred

to as your risk number, measured on a sliding scale from most to least risk-averse.

IT’S ALL IN THE NUMBERS

We work hard most of our lives and may have managed to accumulate a tidy

nest egg. So, it’s important to establish ground rules when choosing a financial adviser. You need to understand each other and trust that the adviser understands your financial goals and limitations. Andrew Barnes, president of Entruity Wealth, relies on the innovative software Riskalyze, an algorithm tool that evaluates and quantitatively assesses client risk tolerance. Riskalyze customizes an investment strategy that aligns closely with factors related to your personality, psyche and lifestyle.

3 28

RISKALYZE GUIDES THE STRATEGY

“It removes any guesswork,” Andrew says. “We set realistic expectations as a basis for moving forward.” Investors who have taken the quiz mostly agree with their risk number. Riskalyze also levels the playing field and guides the conversation with clients. Building a portfolio in the past was often a shot-in-the-dark based on age or other stereotypes. Entruity’s use of Riskalyze lets them tailor an investment plan that’s adapted precisely to the client. Everyone’s different, so why shouldn’t your portfolio uniquely reflect you?

GETTING TO KNOW YOU AS YOU GET TO KNOW YOURSELF Things happen in life, and money can be an emotional trigger. While your risk number might be high when you’re feeling flush, something could occur in your personal life or world that alters your willingness to sustain a loss. Some people become fearful and get out of the market too soon and then lose the opportunity to re-enter. Or worse yet, wait too long to “buy the dip” before the market rebounds. Riskalyze helps establish a six-month blueprint that should perform with 95 percent accuracy within the calculated range. Clients feel reassured and empowered to stay the course even if the during market volatility. Setting parameters and expectations enhances the relationships Entruity Wealth builds with clients.

It wasn’t long ago that surgery was the only option for chronic pain or injuries. Until Now. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative, all-natural treatment option for tendon injuries and joint pain. It ’s a safe, non-surgical treatment that utilizes the healing properties of platelets from your own blood to help jump start the healing process and deliver profound pain relief.

Your Own Blood is the Healing Agent Everyone’s blood is composed of the same key components: red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Platelets are the essential component in your blood that PRP therapy relies on to heal chronic injuries and relieve pain. These cells contain healing growth factors and bioactive proteins, which are vital for tissue regeneration and repair.

Platelet-Rich-Plasma Treatment Areas

What Results Can You Expect? PRP therapy is a breakthrough treatment that has helped many of our patients stay active and achieve profound relief from osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, chronic pain, acute athletic injuries and a number of other conditions. Generally, depending on the body region and extent of your injury, you may begin to feel the results of your PRP therapy within two to eight weeks. Ordinarily, the symptom relief and healing process, called the healing cascade, continues to improve for up to six months after your treatment.

Understanding how PRP Works PRP therapy works by isolating and concentrating the

comprehensive healing and long-term pain relief.

What’s Involved? A blood sample is taken and then spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets for your injections. Joints, tendons, and muscles each require specific and unique PRP formulations for best results. Under the guidance of ultrasound or fluoroscopy, the PRP is precisely injected into your specific injured areas. This is the optimal way to perform the procedure, as it allows the physician: 1) to clearly visualize the targeted areas, 2) avoid trauma to the surrounding structures, and 3) inject specific PRP formulations to maximize results.

Dr. Arturo Palencia, MD, a Pain Management specialist and Anesthesiologist, has focused significant attention on Regenerative Medicine over the last 5 years. He has trained with some of the world leaders in this exciting new medical field, including Dr. Joseph Purita and Dr. Rahul Desai. Dr. Palencia believes medicine is moving away from intrusive and irreversible orthopedic procedures towards elegant, minimally-invasive approaches. At the forefront of this evolution, he has successfully treated patients with PRP and stem cell therapies at Pain Institute of Central California and is now offering his service to all those interested in benefiting from a more natural way of healing the body.

REGENERATIVE MEDICINE A NEW APPROACH TO TREATING CHRONIC INJURIES ARTICLE BOB WHYTE REGENERATIVE MEDICINE HARNESSES YOUR BODY’S NATURAL ABILITY TO HEAL ITSELF. Traditionally, medical providers would diagnose and recommend treatments that simply alleviated a patient’s symptoms—without fixing the underlying pathology. As such, chronic conditions and symptoms in many patients inevitably returned. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and stem cell therapies offer great promise for repairing most types of tissue damage and provides a viable alternative for people with chronic conditions who might otherwise consider only surgery. By leveraging the body’s own regenerative properties, these minimally invasive treatments repair chronically damaged tissue from the inside out without the pain and lengthy recovery and rehabilitation period associated with surgery.

+ AN EMERGING SCIENCE WITH EXCITING PROMISE The field of regenerative medicine is still fairly new with limited protocols in the medical literature related to PRP and stem cell therapies. Even among experienced physicians, there are differences of opinion as to which methods and treatments are most effective. And, because these therapies are still considered experimental, PRP and stem cell treatments are not currently reimbursable by health insurers and requires private-pay. Because this has led to the rise of many so-called “experts,” if you’re considering PRP or stem cell treatments, make certain that your practitioner has a track record of successful outcomes.

+ THE TRUE REGENERATIVE MEDICINE SPECIALIST: Conducts a comprehensive physical examination to diagnose the underlying symptoms. • Uses ultrasound and MRI diagnostic imaging technologies to pinpoint the location of tissue damage. • Determines whether regenerative medicine is the most appropriate treatment. • Thoroughly discusses the treatment process in every detail. • Relies on ultrasound and fluoroscopy machines to ensure precise injection of regenerative cells to the exact injury location. • Executes a well-informed therapy protocol to produce a positive outcome.

+ A LOCAL EXPERT YOU CAN TRUST Dr. Arturo Palencia has spent the past five years attending conferences and studying with the leading minds in the field of regenerative medicine. Since 2015, Palencia has been offering regenerative medicine therapies only to patients in his pain management practice. He has successfully treated more than 200 patients with PRP and stem cells using unique treatment protocols developed through years of training and practice. Palencia is now offering his services to the general public through the newly formed Bakersfield PRP & Stem Cells, a division of Pain Institute of Central California.

Alec and his dad, Hassan, represent a twist in that Alec’s dad is also the coach of his Galaxy (LA) Bakersfield team. The 15-year-old freshman loves soccer which is at the center of his life today. A huge 5-inch growth spurt this year has helped Alec be more physical on the field. Hassan is happy that they share a true passion. As time permits, they plan to add hiking, fishing and other “guy” stuff to their lives.
