John worked for Merrill Lynch in Denver for 10 years before moving to Fort Collins in 1996 when he was promoted to branch manager and given the task of establishing the local Merrill Lynch office. His responsibilities as branch manager included managing the day to day functions of the office, recruiting and training quality advisors and support staff while also taking care of a large client base.

                    The challenges women breadwinners face embracing their financial clout

                    Women are contributing more to their families’ incomes than ever before. Yet many remain less engaged than men in decision-making about the money they’ve earned. Why?

                    We believe financial participation, comprehensive planning and the support of financial professionals can help correct this imbalance.
