My story

My name is Doug Vernon and I have lived in the St Louis area since 2007. My wife Patti and were married in 1981 and have three children and 5 grandchildren. We love to spend time with our family and are thankful they live in the St Louis area as well. Patti and I enjoy hiking throughout Missouri and Illinois. We love to visit local wineries, work in our yard, and sit by our waterfall in our back yard. Did I say I love my family? We are a little crazy, but we love hanging out together!

My first career was working as a Pastor and for 40 years I guided people along the spiritual journey. Now I get to provide experience and guidance on their financial journey. Sitting with people and listening to their stories, encouraging them, and exploring how we can add peace of mind to their tomorrow is so important to me.

Please reach out and let’s have a conversation about how I can be an encouragement to you and your family!
