First Command - Spokane WA

Since 1958, we've been proud to serve those who serve. More than six decades later, our commitment to military families remains as strong as ever. 💙

We pause to remember the brave Americans who endured captivity, those who never returned home, and the loved ones who continue to carry their legacy forward. May we always honor their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to our Nation. 💙

Happy Birthday to the United States Air Force! Today, we celebrate the Airmen who have answered the call to serve with courage, innovation, and dedication since 1947.✈️

On Patriot Day, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, including civilians and first responders, and honor the service members who serve to defend America’s freedom today.

POV: You ask your advisor one quick question about tax-efficient distribution strategies in retirement...
..and 30 seconds later, they're at the whiteboard.

There are some financial concepts that are a whole lot easier to understand once you can actually see how the pieces connect.

Which accounts are we pulling from? In what order? What are the potential tax implications? How could that strategy change throughout retirement?

Sometimes that calls for a diagram, a few arrows, and a whiteboard that looks considerably more complicated before it starts making sense.

If you’re a visual learner, we’ve got you.

Do you have some serious whiteboard skills and a passion for ? Let's connect!

It’s been a few months since I joined colleagues in Washington, DC for the FSI Advocacy Summit, but the experience has stuck with me.

Advocacy doesn’t stop when the meetings end. Staying engaged means continuing to show up, stay informed, build relationships, and be part of the conversations affecting the people and communities we serve.

It was also a good reminder that advocacy can take many forms. We all bring different experiences, backgrounds, perspectives, and skills to the table, and we all have opportunities to use them to make a positive difference. Whether that’s engaging with lawmakers, serving in our communities, mentoring others, or simply lending our voice and experience where it can help, there’s value in getting involved.

If you’re looking for a career where your unique background is valued, your voice matters, and your experiences can help make a difference, I’d love to connect.

Spokane takes care of Spokane ❤

Grateful for Jon, and for organizations like Heroes Homestead and their project as they connect local families impacted by the fires with the resources they need to rebuild.
