David W. Beissler, CFP®

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™ / Senior Financial Advisor

Helping clients live out their life goals.

I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering and acquired a master's equivalent in Nuclear Engineering from the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory. I served 11 years in the United States Navy and achieved the rank of Lieutenant. Subsequently, I worked at General Electric as a Six Sigma Black Belt. In 2000, I decided to apply my analytical problem-solving skills toward helping people and joined the financial services industry. I have been a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ since 2005.

Navigating the complexities of making financial decisions can take a lot of time and effort, can create uncertainty, and can distract people from living purpose-filled lives. I want to use my skill and expertise to take away the worry of financial management for our clients, so they can live out their life goals.

I like to serve my community.

I am active in my community and church. I have coached 40+ sport seasons and have worked in youth ministry since 2005. I enjoy being a positive influence in the lives of the next generation. I also like to run, play golf, travel, and spend time with my wife and four kids.

My goal with our clients is to create financial plans and strategies that help them achieve confidence in their future. I do this by developing long-term relationships that enables me to learn what is most important to them, so the plan we create can help guide them through complicated financial decisions, with less stress, and more confidence and time to focus on the greater things in life.

Exploring the world and what it has to offer.

Outside the office, I love to travel. I have had the opportunity to travel to many states around the country and Europe. My favorite travel plan is going on cruises with my son. We have a goal to go on every Disney Cruise ship before he goes to college! I also enjoy playing the piano and finding new restaurants and microbreweries around town to meet up with friends. Let me know if you have a suggestion!

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take".

When I get home, I am usually sifting through different sports applications to stay caught up. I also love spending a time playing board games with my wife, which typically ends in me being outplayed. I play the bass guitar and lead a pre-teen to teen boys bible study during the week.
