Background: If you had asked Mandy what she wanted to be when she was growing up, she would have said she wanted to be a dancer like her mom. She never would have imagined herself following in her father’s footsteps instead, pursuing a career in the field of business. After being a stay-at-home mom for 12 years and having personal experiences with her own financial advisors, she realized that this was the path for her.
Mandy has been in the industry since 2016. Her undergraduate work was completed at The Master’s College, and she later earned her MBA from Bellevue University. She is an investment advisor representative and registered representative holding series 7 and 66 registrations with Western International Securities. Mandy is a licensed fiduciary.
Financial Philosophy: As the common saying goes, “most people don’t plan to fail, they simply fail to plan” and Mandy understands that the topic of money is not generally something folks want to talk about. Addressing one’s financial situation, for a variety of reasons, oftentimes gets pushed to the back burner.
Mandy enjoys educating her clients – ensuring they understand their investments and how they work. She is passionate about building relationships, answering questions, and guiding her clients along the way. She steps back and looks at the big picture, outlining a path for her clients to follow that leads them to their goals. She is very passionate about this process, treats her client portfolios with the care and commitment she would her own, and finds her job extremely rewarding.
Personal Background: Mandy was born and raised in Montana. She has since traveled the world and now resides in Nebraska with her husband and three boys. She enjoys exercising, finding adventures outdoors with her family, and a good glass of wine over conversation with a friend.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
