Get to know Summer

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, and moved to Broomfield, Colorado in 2021.

What do you do when you’re not at work?

I love being active — hiking, running, and biking are my go-tos. My partner Mark and I have completed RAGBRAI (a bike ride across Iowa) twice. In the winter, I switch gears and spend time quilting or reading.

What’s your approach to financial planning?

I’m here to make sure the behind-the-scenes work is handled with care. I want clients to feel like things are running smoothly, even if they never see all the moving parts.

What’s something most people wouldn’t expect about you?

I’m a longtime cyclist and have biked across Iowa… twice! Also: I’m low-key obsessed with my pug, Lucy.

Who do you love working with?

I enjoy supporting people who are thoughtful and intentional — whether that’s clients or teammates. It makes the work more meaningful.

What’s one value that drives your work?

Reliability. I take pride in being the person others can count on — whether it’s clients or the rest of the team.
