Ann L Rislove

I grew up in a small town where my dad owned a carpet cleaning service for 40 years and my mom worked at a bank. My parents taught me the values of honesty, integrity and hard work. Our family may have not made a lot of money, but my parents made smart choices with what they had and planned for their future. This taught me that anyone who makes smart choices today can be very successful in the future.

My goal is helping individuals and families achieve their long-term goals. I use an established process, but the core of it revolves around me understanding what's most important to you. Once I understand your priorities, I can help you identify specific financial goals and develop strategies to help you work toward achieving them. I believe there is a lot of value that we bring to the table.

I would say a core strength of mine is also educating my clients. No matter where my clients are on the investing spectrum (very knowledgeable – very limited) many of them have said this was the first time they understood what they have or why they have it. This is because I talk to you like a person and I don't talk over your head. We partner together so that I can help you stay on track.

If you prefer interacting with an actual friendly person who knows your specific situation and keeps you well-informed, rather than a call center or website, then Edward Jones and I may be your perfect match.

My husband, Eric, and I have been married for over 23 years and have three children. Our oldest two boys are in college and our daughter is in middle school. We give whole-heartedly to our family, our work and our community.
