Gene has been married to his lovely wife Angie for 25 years. He is the proud dad of two beautiful girls. Saving for college and trying to retire are very much on Gene’s mind right now. Being a financial consultant for 23 years doesn’t erase the need to plan ahead. His goal for his clients and his family (especially his girls) is to show them how to have a healthy relationship with money. He has a great sense of humor and you won’t experience any guilt or “why didn’t you?” questions coming out of his mouth. You will get empathy, a solid and workable plan, and assurance that today is a great day to plan for your financial future. Our goal is that you walk away with relief knowing you have a path to run on towards your financial future.

Jeff and his better half Jennifer have lived in Northern Colorado since 2001, but Jeff is a native born having grown up just outside of Denver in Strasburg. Their two daughters, Macie & Lauren, are grown and flown (mostly). Macie is a Colorado Mesa graduate and recently completed her Certificate in Cybersecurity studies, while Lauren will graduate from Texas State as a Public Administration major with PolySci minor and hopes to live & work in the Austin area. Jeff likes to stay active, working out, running an obstacle race with Lauren (just added his 10th race) or working on home improvement projects with Jen. Jeff also appreciates the importance of keeping your finances in shape, both for now and the future. Taking the fear out of planning, by creating an atmosphere where you can feel comfortable talking about your hopes and dreams, let Jeff help you put together a roadmap to a financial future you can feel good about.
