First Command - Spokane WA

Financial planning is never a solo effort, and neither is serving our clients.

Behind every advisor is a team of professionals working together to share ideas, solve challenges, and provide thoughtful guidance. By collaborating with colleagues across the company and leveraging the resources, research, and support available through our Home Office, we're able to bring a broader perspective to every client relationship.

Whether it's navigating complex financial situations, staying informed on industry changes, or exploring strategies tailored to a client's goals, teamwork helps ensure we're delivering the best possible experience.

Most importantly, our collaborative approach means clients benefit from the collective knowledge and experience of an entire organization, not just a single advisor.

Is one of your goals for 2026 to become a homeowner? If so, now’s a great time to start thinking through how that decision can shape your overall financial plan.

Buying a home is exciting, but it also comes with a few moving parts that are easy to overlook early on.

Things like:
• How much flexibility you want in your monthly budget
• What your emergency savings should look like as a homeowner
• Upfront costs beyond just the down payment
• How this fits into your longer term goals

I’ve had a lot of conversations where someone is “almost ready,” but just needs help connecting the dots between where they are now and what taking that next step really looks like.

The good news is, a little planning ahead of time can make the whole process feel a lot more manageable and a lot less stressful.

Since it’s , it’s a great time to take that first step and get clear on what homeownership could look like for you.

Nothing like a potluck to bring the office together. Thank you to everyone who cooked, shared, and made it a great break in the week.

Last week, our Spokane team stepped away from the day-to-day for an office potluck. And let me tell you, my coworkers know how to cook.

There was smoked brisket, pulled pork, deviled eggs, beans, fruit salad, and plenty more on the table.

Good food, good conversations, and a lot of stories shared. It was a simple break in the week, but a good one.

Grateful for this team and the way they show up for each other.

There’s a lot happening in your first months of military service. Taking time to understand your pay now may help you build strong financial habits that support long term confidence and stability.
