Broker Check

Fiduciary

We provide the highest level of care and accountability. Everything we do must be in your best interest.

Complete Transparency

No magic tricks or distractions. Everything we do is transparent. Log into our online system to see your accounts any time, from any device, no matter where you may be.

Experienced

We have been serving client needs for over 30 years which means we probably have experience in situations like yours.

Local & Available

We are not a large institution. We are your neighbors who happen to offer financial expertise. When you call, we answer. When you need someone, we are here.

Different People. Unique Needs

Some people need help accumulating and growing wealth. Others need assistance with the responsibilities wealth creates. No matter your money issues, we will help you find the solutions which best fit

Retire Confident

Retirement is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but we have helped people retire comfortably and confidently for over 30 years. We can help you too.

Get Comfortable

We provide a safe and relaxed environment where you can be comfortable with your money.

Independence brings freedom

Our “product” is our guidance and advice, not specific investments. We are neutral and transparent when selecting the solutions necessary to implement your plan.

Investing, not trading

It is not flashy, but the long term outlook has stood the test of time. We seek to capitalize on this trend through patience and discipline rather than guessing when to zig and when to zag.

Simplicity

It is our job to explain your money in simple and straight-forward terms, not to impress you with jargon and investment “speak”. You can never ask too many questions. 

Wealth is not determined by money

Wealth is determined by love, happiness, and relationships. The number of dollars in your account does not make you more or less than anyone else.

It takes two to tango

We provide the know-how; you provide direction and guidance. 

You are not your neighbor

There is no magic formula that works for everyone. We have the knowledge, experience and tools to help you plan and achieve your goals.

The media provides exposure, not advice

In this age of information overload, there are an over-whelming number of financial opinions. We help you focus on your specific financial goals by using our experience and knowledge as a filter to cut through the constant noise and chatter.

Putting it all together

All the parts of your life are connected. Getting to know you goes beyond your finances. We want to know your values, hopes, and dreams so your success is not purely financial. A life measured only in dollars can never be rich. 

It is a journey,
not a destination

No matter what your stage of life and career, we can help you. As you change and grow, we adjust so your plan continues to fit your needs.

Letter to Clients: 3rd Quarter 2011

Have you ever seen the headline "Don't panic. Everything will be okay"? I never have but strangely enough, despite many complicated global problems, everything usually turns out okay. The message of calm and peace just does not draw an audience as large as the message of doom and gloom so our news is seldom optimistic.

Line in the Sand

Iowa is generally on the leading edge of regulatory issues. Last Friday the State Insurance Division issued two significant Commissioner's Bulletins. Both titled Licensing Requirements and Permitted Activities, bulletin 11-4 is the insurance version and bulletin 11-S-1 is the securities version. These documents detail both permissible and prohibited activities of "Insurance-Only Persons" and "Securities-Only Persons".

Milkshakes and Prophecy

It is really interesting when completely separate components of your life intersect. This happened to me when I read a Runner's World magazine article in which Ambry Burfoot referenced a recently published Yale Study "Mind Over Milkshakes". A non-technical summary of the study can be found at the Mother Nature Network website, but I can give you a quick synopsis.
