Jesse Bristow
Financial Advisor
With over 7 years of industry experience in various roles, including valuable tenures at Fidelity Investments and Charles Schwab, I've dedicated myself to mastering the intricacies of finance. During my time at Fidelity, I excelled in my role and was promoted onto a small, tight-knit, Private Client team. Providing only the most exceptional, white glove, service to the needs of ultra-high-net-worth clients. My role involved using my skills in a fast-paced environment, with not only attention to detail but the ability to build long lasting relationships, collaborating closely with advisors and clients to optimize their account servicing experience. I pride myself on my expertise in market mechanics, trading strategies, options, margin, and retirement accounts.
Outside of work, my dedication extends beyond the financial industry. For the past eight years, I've been involved in coaching youth and high school baseball with a travel organization here in Denver. Guiding these young men to grow and develop both on and off the field.

Larry Jones
Financial Advisor
I've spent over 40 years in the financial services industry, and have found helping people realize dreams, and reach financial independence extremely satisfying. The industry has changed tremendously since the 1970s and regardless of the many new ways developed to access investment products, structuring a long-term financial plan requires organization, understanding, patience, and discipline. It is very gratifying to help people develop these attributes and reach a comfortable financial future an a less stressful life.
I began my career specializing in option trading when Bache & Co in Denver. My wife, Gayle and I have 3 children and 7 grandchildren, and are fortunate enough to have 9 of the 10 near us in Denver. We very much look forward to busy weekends of recitals, games, and matches and try when possible, to take full advantage of all the outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer.
