About Daniel T Younglove
I grew up in a household where hard work, dedication to your job and being true to your word was modeled by my father every day, as he got up at 4:30 am for work and never missed a day. That has instilled in me the dedication I have to work hard in helping people achieve their lifetime goals and dreams.
I realize there are many dynamics to financial planning. Through years of experience, I have learned that knowing a client’s goals and helping to prioritize them is just as important as the strategy that is used to attain them. My greatest moments as an advisor are when I get to share in the excitement of a client achieving financial goals such as: early retirement, watching their children or grandchildren graduate from college or buying a second home. By implementing customized financial plans, it has given me a great feeling of satisfaction to know that I was there to guide our clients over the years.

About Kristin Kotsakis
Throughout my life I have always found myself looking at a situation and trying to figure out how to make it better, more effective, and efficient. I have organized closets, garages, basements, filing systems, financial records and more. When I was in college I worked at a professional office as a summer job. Halfway through the summer the office manager left, and since I had learned and helped organize their systems quickly, I was asked to step in and be the office manager until they could fill the position. I get energized by helping people and simplifying their lives. I am a problem solver and organizer.
This God given ability has made the work I do for my clients so satisfying that I find the best part of my career and daily activity is helping people get through the complexities of planning for their retirement and their future. By analyzing and implementing investment strategies, I help clients organize and simplify their long-term plans.
My team and I have in-depth conversations to learn about our clients’ lives, family, values, goals, and dreams. We create lasting relationships with our clients and their families, and work with their CPA and attorney, to coordinate and deliver the entire planning process.

About Timothy Sjostrom
Being raised in a family of seven, through tough times, I witnessed the impact of failure due to a lack of wise counsel, lack of planning and the impact they have on a family’s wellbeing. I vowed not to commit the same mistakes that left my family ill prepared for the rainy days of life.
These life experiences and a deep faith in God lead me as I provide a candid approach to financial counsel that our clients expect, through truth and honesty, as we follow the Golden Rule together to: “Do unto others as you would have them do to you.” I serve our clients and do for them what they cannot do for themselves, by uncovering blind spots in their plans and sharing success stories from other client engagements.
Our team engages in financial planning by asking more than just the financial questions of ‘what do you have?’ We get to know what created our client’s relationship with money and what really is important in their life. We begin with the end in mind and work back to what needs to be accomplished today to affect the client’s life plan. Working closely with our client’s other professional advisors; estate planning attorney and CPA, along the way.

About Maureen D. Wright
My interest in personal finance was sparked at a young age by my father. Some of my earliest memories are going to the bank to open my very own savings account, playing the “stock market” game with my brothers, and the first time my father opened a Roth IRA in my name for Christmas. Through my father’s guidance and my parents’ dedication to a holistic financial plan, they were able to provide support for me and my brothers during college, and most recently have embarked on their biggest adventure, retirement.
There is no greater blessing in life than having a family to love and support. One of the most stressful dynamics in a family can be their finances. I strive to offer an increased confort level so they can be more present with their family.
I take the time to really connect with my clients by listening to their stories, uncovering their motivators, and zoning in on their values. Having this insight into my client's lives allows me and my team to design and implement a financial plan that supports a lifestyle that excites them.

About Shannon Druley
Family is at the center of everything I do. As the oldest of three siblings, I became the de facto matriarch of my family after the sudden passing of my mother in 2021. My mother instilled in me the importance of family, connection, and celebrating both the big and little things in life. It’s my hope to continue the beautiful legacy she left behind through connection and remembering to celebrate the milestones in life.
The favorite part of my role at Morgan Stanley is creating trusting relationships with clients. I enjoy being able to share in the dreams of clients and am honored to be part of the team that supports those dreams coming true. I love interacting with clients on a day-to-day basis and value the trust they place in me when guiding them through an account transaction. Often, we are the first call when a big life event happens. I have the honor of working with clients who are excited to give a gift to a son or daughter, help a grandchild pay for college or finally book the vacation of their dreams. It’s fulfilling to see our clients achieve their goals.
