Mary Kay Hacker

Before becoming a financial advisor, I was a branch office administrator with Edward Jones. As a financial advisor, I am uniquely situated to understand my clients' needs. My background has led me to this opportunity to help each client achieve his or her definition of financial success.

Being a single parent, I understand that not all families are created equal and each has unique needs for outcomes specific to its particular situation. Transitions can be daunting. Whether you are retiring from a career, dealing with the loss of a loved one, getting married, going through a divorce or sending your children off to college, we partner together to create a strategy based on what's most important to you.

Originally from Buffalo, I moved to Virginia in 1999 to be closer to my family. I live in Hanover County with my three children: Nick, Max and Katie. This past year, my family suffered two unimaginable losses. My daughter, Delaney, and my brother, David, died nine months apart. I understand grief and preparing for the unexpected firsthand.

I attended the State University of New York at Buffalo with a bachelor's in communication and received my master's in communication from Texas Christian University. I am also a certified mediator.

Giving back to the community is important to me. I volunteer at Wings of Hope in Montpelier, serve on the Town of Ashland Parks & Rec Committee and am in the Ashland Rotary, and enjoy cycling, sailing and photography. One of our greatest adventures was traveling the U.S. in our RV.

I'm dedicated to help give my clients confidence and to make a difference in their lives. My clients' success is my success and I am honored to partner with my clients throughout their lives to plan for the future and create strategies and solutions for each need using an established process. If you are searching for a financial advisor that cares deeply about you, call me to experience face-to-face meetings and a lifelong partnership.
