▪️ Master of Science in Personal Financial Planning; Kansas State University
▪️ Graduate Certificate in Financial Therapy; Kansas State University

▪️ My specific areas of interest within financial planning include estate planning, retirement strategies, financial therapy, and behavioral finance.
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™

To me, financial planning is like a jigsaw puzzle. Sometimes the puzzle pieces cooperate, fitting together easily. Other times, we may feel like a piece is missing or doesn’t belong. However, it may be that the missing piece just looks different than what we envisioned or what we were told it should look like.

My wife and I recently met with Brandon and Den to discuss a handful of financial planning questions we had. On both occasions we met with them it was apparent their depth of knowledge and expertise in answering our questions and providing recommendations on what would be best to meet our needs as a family. They were extremely generous in the time they gave to clearly and effectively answer our questions. What was most impressive was the environment they seek to foster. It is one that anyone should trust and feel safe due to the honesty and full transparency they provide in their communications. It's apparent that both men display a high degree of character and integrity in how they conduct themselves. This was something we extremely appreciated. I would strongly recommend their services to anyone seeking financial planning advice.

Brandon and his partner are super helpful answering questions about your financial well-being. I reached out after seeing many interesting post on LinkedIn and Facebook about the stock market, retirement and other big financial decisions that need to be made. Brandon called me and had a session where he was able to coach and guide me for next steps. He was not pushing me to use his service and does not spam you if it takes you a while to decide which partner you would like to use for your financial decisions.
Talking through finances is stressful and not something I like to talk about with others. This conversation was not stressful and they were super generous to walk through uncommon terms and explain, without making it feel like I was uneducated or expected to know everything.
Great experience and I would highly recommend setting up the first call to see if you have the same experience that I had.

I had some cash from selling our home and wanted some advice. Brandon and Den were both very knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. They had me fill out a short survey to determine my tolerance for risk, then made some recommendations. I wound up going with an I bond, which they both recommended. I'm very pleased and will be using them in the future as well. Definitely recommend!

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
