Dustin L Schlabach

I work to help individuals and families in their communities overcome complexity, live comfortable financial lives on their terms and create a lasting legacy with actionable, trustworthy strategies.

As a graduate of Appalachian State University with a degree in organization communication followed by a Master of Divinity from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, I have spent more than 15 years in retail leadership and church ministry and now use my combined skills at Edward Jones. My business partner and Senior Branch Office Administrator, Heather Whitmire, and I strive to ensure each client feels understood, informed, in control and secure in what matters most. Together, we are highly skilled and have developed and optimized a process of partnership that helps our clients dreams become reality. Our partnership is also seen through our work behind the scenes with Edward Jones. I recently was honored with the prestigious Ted Jones Spirit of Caring Award for 2020.

I live with my wife, Christine, young daughter, Rose, and our two dogs, a Lab-Hound mix named Lilly and my wife’s Chihuahua, Purl. I enjoy my involvement within the Asheville community through Rotary, my local church and serving on the board of Children's First as well as the Land of the Sky Estate Planning Council. These groups have taught me the importance of relationship building and being a great communicator. I’ve always enjoyed challenges and absolutely delight in hobbies that can never be perfected such as golf, fantasy football and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. These challenges take focus, discipline and positivity in order to navigate the complex and arrive in harmony, which is a lesson that is re-taught from Jiu-Jitsu every time I find myself staring at the ceiling.
