Hello,

My name is Collin Cantalope. I have been a financial advisor for Edward Jones since 2010, serving Spearfish and the surrounding communities. Prior to my career as a financial advisor, I was high school Spanish teacher and also coached basketball, football, baseball and track and field. I also worked for a long period of time in the restaurant industry and as a basketball and baseball official while I coached and taught. The communication skills I gained from working with people in the community in my past careers have directly contributed to the enjoyment I've had working as a financial advisor.

I received my bachelor's degree from South Dakota State University in the Spring of 2004. I graduated from the teacher education program with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish.

Working as a financial advisor in our community has afforded me the opportunity to meet some wonderful people and participate in beneficial community events. In my past I have been a member of Spearfish Kiwanis Club, volunteered with running the Spearfish Arts in the Park Festival. I coach and help umpire Spearfish Youth baseball league. When my wife, Christa, son Burke, daughter, Vera, and I have some free time, we enjoy playing basketball, golfing, riding our bikes, going to the park and watersports at the lake.

As a financial advisor, my branch office administrator, Sonja, and I open our door to all persons who need assistance with determining an appropriate financial strategy, financial education or just simply have some financial questions that we hopefully can assist with.

We strive to run a client-first financial advising practice, by pro-actively contacting our clients in a timely fashion, discussing their financial needs, and my recommendations are tailored to help them reach their goals. We focus on consistent follow-up and creating a welcoming and friendly environment for all of our clients.

We look forward to meeting you in our community and hopefully some day in our office.
