Experience

 If you’re devoted and intentional, you will realize your full potential. That’s not theory—that’s my own story. I was raised by incredible, passionate parents who showed me the roadmap not to just success, but more importantly, to significance. My mother was a science teacher who inspired driven kids to chase their calling. My father was a legendary high school football coach who knew how to get the best out of his players, even more than they ever thought possible. Their example and wisdom inspired so many of my friends and others in our community to see what was truly possible. They provided the leadership, encouragement, and tools to help you reach your full potential. That ignited a fire in me to serve my clients with that same chase for significance beyond financial success. For me, being a financial advisor isn’t a career - it’s my DNA. I’m called to serve those who need more out of life than a large account size. That’s who I choose to help realize what’s truly possible in life. It’s what we at The Geesman Group work to live out every day because life is too short to stop at financial success. If you’re capable of so much more, isn’t it worth it to see what’s truly possible?
