About Kathy Crager
About Kathy Crager

I serve families and business owners in Fort Wayne and Boston with values-based financial strategies built on real connection. My family has called Northeastern Indiana home for most of my life. My husband, Brian, and I have been married for 28 years, and together we’ve raised two wonderful children, welcomed a son-in-law, and now enjoy the joy and energy of two grandsons.

We’re happiest outdoors — whether we’re camping, four-wheeling, dirt-bike riding with our kids, or heading out on our next travel adventure.

I’m passionate about helping people pursue their financial goals. I was raised by small business owners in a rural farming and manufacturing community. I understand the value of money and also the value of time with family. No matter your age or your starting point, it’s never too early — and never too late — to begin building your dream financial house.
