After graduating with honors from MSU in 1977, Don completed a Master of Science at the University of Arizona. He began his financial advising career in 1980 when he began studying for and earning his licenses and certificates. It only took a few years in the industry for Don to determine he would be able to better serve his clients by becoming an independent advisor with LPL Financial in 1991. Don went on to complete his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification and second Master’s degree in Personal Financial Planning from the College for Financial Planning. As the complex financial industry evolves, Don and the CWMP team understand the importance of continuing education.
