2024 Rockwall Veteran's Alliance

My family and I have lived in Rockwall Texas for 25+ years and this is our home. I truly believe in supporting local businesses, and local Nonprofits.

I grew my company from two to 55 employees over 15 years, learning hard lessons along the way. I teach the tools and processes we used to save our business before ultimately selling to our biggest competitor.

-I'm a husband and proud father of three.  My oldest attends Texas Christian University and my boys are at RHS where they both wrestle, John plays trumpet in the band, and Luke is on the World Championship Qualifying Full Metal Jackets Robotics team 1296.  It was been a highlight of mine to coach them as they grew up, wrestling, baseball, pop warner football.  
-My wife, Amy, grew up in Mesquite (Poteet HS) and her family all lives in Rockwall now.  We met at Harpoon Harry's in Panama City, FL while on Spring Break '98.  She was earning her Marketing and Management degree at Texas A&M and I was earning my Economics degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point.  She shared and sacrificed through my Army 21-year Army career, so when I retired from the Army as a Lieutenant Colonel, we came to Rockwall to be near her family.

Planning for a confident retirement

We deliver personalized financial advice to help you achieve your goals, today and tomorrow, through our Confident Retirement® approach. We start with a conversation about key financial areas including covering essentials, ensuring lifestyle, preparing for the unexpected

Working with us

Meeting with an Ameriprise financial advisor is an important first step. It's an opportunity to get to know an advisor and share your goals and dreams. You're under no obligation; your initial meeting with an Ameriprise financial advisor will be relaxed and informal.
Your meeting will include a review of your existing financial situation and potential opportunities, gaps or general strategies. While you won't receive a comprehensive review or financial planning services for which fees are charged, you should expect to get a sense of what it might be like to work together.

As a retired vet, I am able to fulfill my "call to duty" by being the Executive Director and President of Patriot Sporting Challenge, a 501(c)3 all-volunteer charitable organization. Our mission is to conduct fun-filled sporting activities to benefit the families of killed or wounded military veterans and first responders. Once a year we hold a combination golfing and fishing event on Lake Fork and The Links at Land's End golf course, followed by an afternoon and evening of casino games, food, and live entertainment. Because of the successful past 4 events, we have already donated over $400,000 to the Folds of Honor, a national organization awarding scholarships to the legacies of killed or wounded soldiers and first responders. 

I spent nearly a decade as a classically trained Financial Advisor and the last 13 years in Private Equity.  After 20+ years and thousands of meetings with investors and financial advisors, it became clear that the large, mainstay investment firms are not offering the types of Private Investments that institutions, endowments, and the ultra high-net-worth have utilized for decades. 

This disconnect led me to open Glasgow Investment Solutions.  I have been on "both sides of the desk" and specialize in Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) for 1031 Exchanges and other private investments.  These are the types of complex strategies that have the potential to improve investment portfolios through:

1. Tax Mitigation
2. Enhanced Returns
3. Reduce Risk

I worked in public education for 35 years with the last 10 being superintendent of Chisum ISD.  Following my retirement, I changed my career path to become a Financial Representative with Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial. 
A quote I live by happens to be the creed of our company, “There is a destiny that makes us brothers (or sisters), None goes his way alone; All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own.”  Edwin Markham, circa 1939.  My goal is to continue to be a well-known name in the areas we work for helping people either with financial planning or through our fraternal efforts.  I enjoy spending time with my husband, 3 children and spouses and 8 grandchildren.  We currently have three Bed and Breakfasts and a 37 space RV Park.

Hello,

I grew up in Southern California. Went to school at Arizona State University and lived in Mesa, AZ for 5 years while going to school. I have been in California for the last 15 years, 10 of which have been in Medical Device sales as a territory manager. I recently bought a 360 Painting franchise because I wanted to build something for myself instead of someone else. I recently moved to Texas in July of 2024 and currently reside in Richardson with my wife and newborn baby. My wife is Brazilian and I met her when I was on vacation in Rio De Janeiro with my friend. We got married in Brazil in October 2021 and her visa was finally approved in April 2023. We chose Texas because it is more conducive to families and family values and we wanted to start a family here. My family and I are loving Texas so far and really love the Rockwall area. We look forward to serving you and becoming a part of the community.
