UNPARALLELED SERVICE
We attribute much of our growth and longevity to our personal relationships with our clients, independent and objective financial advice, and a team-based approach.
It’s uncommon to find a firm that has successfully provided unparalleled personal attention to its clients for more than 55 years. We attribute much of our growth and longevity to our personal relationships with our clients, independent and objective financial advice, and a team-based approach.
From the beginning, our deliberate organizational pattern of independence has remained a core conviction. Whether in the areas of investments, insurance, or any other financial product or service, we have always preserved our inherent freedom to offer objective financial guidance. Additionally, this guidance has been grounded in the pooled experience and expertise of all our partners – since our clients are clients of the firm, not individual advisors.
This commitment allows our energies to be focused solely on understanding your financial goals and offering impartial strategies to the challenges of wealth accumulation, preservation and management that are solely in your best interests.
Our firm was founded in 1967 by William H. “Country” Dean. Since our founder’s retirement over two decades ago, our firm has been guided by the laddered tenure of four additional owners/partners, which continued the firm’s significant growth as well as expanded investment offerings. Today, our firm is co-owned by Jeff Schmeltekopf, Tim Lowry and Jonathan Dumas. This gradual, yet intentional evolution of ownership has been thoughtfully planned and implemented to assure our clients of our firm’s longevity, continuity and consistency of the highest level of service and advice.
