Daryl Christensen

Daryl Christensen focuses on supporting our office advisors so they can help clients address their financial objectives. Over time, they strive to turn clients financial goals into manageable solutions & enable them to take consistent action towards pursuing those goals.

The process begins with the creation of a comprehensive approach that builds upon a client's current financial position then guides them through the various lifecycle phases they will experience in their lifetime. Eventually, these phases involve planning for timing of Social Security benefits, selecting Medicare alternatives, and providing for potential Long Term Care insurance options supporting our clients' quality of life.

Or, the plan may be more targeted such as establishing investment goals and creating a portfolio that reflects a client's investment time horizon and tolerance of risk. This managed wealth accumulation process involves periodic review and re-assessment of risk tolerance.

Daryl pursued a long-term career in the food service industry where he held key management and ownership positions. The experience of owning and operating businesses provides Daryl with insight of challenges encountered by business owners as they plan for their future.
