As a Financial Security Advisor and Employee Benefits expert, Stephanie solves important financial problems and makes strategic recommendations that reflect the goals and objectives of our clients. Stephanie and Dana are a true team. They can even be caught golfing once a year to celebrate their anniversary. Don’t worry, they are much better at designing financial plans than they are at golfing.
She’s a busy wife to Stephen, a mother to Emma and Elise, and you might find her doing hot yoga or spinning and making all of us proud by giving back to her community.
