Susan E Steckler

Raised in Houston, MO, I received a Bachelor of Christian Education degree from Ozark Christian College. In college, I joined the music ministry of Christ In Youth (CIY). CIY led to St. Louis, MO, where my work in the investment and financial services industry began.

I have 39 years of uninterrupted financial industry experience and hold the AAMS® professional designation.

Industry experience includes Financial Advisor, Edward Jones, 2009-Present; Vice President, Investments, A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. (and successors) St. Louis, Rolla, Houston, 1989-2009; Financial Advisor, First Affiliated Securities, St. Louis, 1988-1989; Registered Sales Assistant, Merrill Lynch, St. Louis, 1983-1988; Sales Assistant, Drexel Burnham Lambert, St. Louis, 1982-1983.

Firm recognitions in part include: Edward Jones Founders Achievement; Ted Jones Entrepreneurial; Spirit of Partnership; Regional Leader; and TNT Client Development Awards; A.G. Edwards President's Council and Crest Club.

I was honored by A.G. Edwards Retirement Services, Municipal Bond, Trust Company and Training departments by being asked to speak at internal seminars as one who could help other financial advisors effectively use their products and services.

My husband, Col. Richard H. Steckler, USAF (Ret), is our on-call branch office administrator. We have two children, four grandchildren and numerous rescue cats and dogs. Personal focuses are our faith, helping youth and animal rescue.

Deena Elmore, our senior branch office administrator, joined us in 2014 after 25 years in the insurance industry. Together, we appreciate the privilege of working with clients to help them meet their particular needs and goals. Regardless of stage of life or investing experience of individuals, businesses or organizations, I can tailor portfolios and services to each.

Our industry experience is valuable, but equally so is our understanding of the importance of earning – and keeping – our clients' trust and confidence.
