David Spiess joins Ludacka Wealth Partners with over a quarter-century of experience helping high net worth families manage and protect their wealth. He excels at financial planning implementation with the ability to communicate complex concepts and ideas in a way that is relatable and understandable. David began his career in Phoenix Arizona and settled in the Omaha area in 2003. He feels strongly that what our weather lacks in temperature each winter (as compared to Arizona) is more than compensated by the openness, values, and warmth of the people in Omaha. When not working with clients, David and his wife, Anne, and sons, Gabriel and Alexander, enjoy spending time at home, cooking, traveling, going to the movies.

Jeff Casey is originally from Ashland, MO and was raised as the youngest in a family of five. He attended Central Methodist University, where he enjoyed playing baseball and graduated with a degree in business. In a 2016 transition, Jeff and his wife, Kim, moved from St. Louis to make Omaha their home. They are loving raising their two children, Paige and Luke, in this community that continues to impress. After graduating from college, Jeff worked as an insurance agent for many years, consulting families on their supplemental health benefits. While servicing hundreds of families in this capacity, Jeff recognized a need for most people to have a trusted advisor for all their financial matters. Being limited in the services he could provide as a captive agent and inspired by Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, Jeff sought an opportunity to become an comprehensive financial advisor. As a financial advisor who obtains referrals through the SmartVestor Pro referral service, Jeff is proud to uphold these timeless principles as a pillar of the financial planning process. He specializes in retirement planning, investment management, tax strategies, and gifting strategies, while his primary focus is developing meaningful relationships with clients to be able to help them navigate the array of life’s challenging decisions.

Michael 'Mick' Shonsey has spent a great deal of time in the financial services industry and has experienced the evolution of the simple buying and selling of stocks and bonds only to the far more complex complicated world that faces today's investors. He began his career with a regional brokerage firm, then moved on to the 'giant of the industry' Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. After a time he realized to best serve his clients needs without an allegiance to any firm his best choice was to become independent. That's when he started Shonsey Wealth Management. His main focus is that of a retirement income planner or in plain English - "My goal is to make sure my clients never run out of money in retirement." We like to say successful retirements are Goal Focused and Plan Driven while unsuccessful retirements are Market Focused and Event Driven.
