A financial services professional since 2002, Jason is primarily responsible for ensuring that all clients of Strategic Partners Financial Group receive a consistent, exception experience when working with our team.  In addition, Jason proudly continues to serve a select group of clients as their wealth advisor.

In recent years, Jason has also led a firm initiative to proactively partner with experienced legacy advisors in our communities to develop succession and continuity plans for the advisor and for his/her respective clients.  He has experience in dealing with many different types of succession plans, and provides some unique resources to the legacy advisor in need of a continuity plan. 

In his spare time, Jason enjoys chasing his two children wherever their curiosities may lead them, as well as mountain biking, skiing, golfing, fly fishing, and spending time with friends and family.

What do a teacher and a financial representative have in common?

A lot, actually.   The desire to inform.  The need to succeed.  The opportunity to change lives.  The  mission to help others.

Tim was a music teacher for 17 years before making a career change and becoming a financial representative.  His excitement seeing a student excel in the classroom has carried over to his obvious enthusiasm to help his clients excel in the financial world, whether it's building a nest egg for a new home, saving for child's college education, or funding a secure retirement.

He has been in the financial industry since 1992 and maintains an office in Hays, although his clients stretch throughout the state of Kansas and beyond.  He considers his clients' success, his success, in building a strong financial foundation.

When not in the office, Tim still loves to perform music and is also an avid hunter and fisherman.  His wife, Ruth, is his office manager and client service representative.  They have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.
