We're here to help you achieve your financial goals, manage your money and ultimately, better your life. Unlike many other investment firms that use a cookie-cutter financial plan for all their investors, we apply our Purpose-Based Asset Management approach. By creating separate compartments for each investor's multiple purposes, we create a structure that allows for a prudent, less emotional investment decision-making process. We believe that markets are efficient and investment returns are determined by asset allocation and the passage of time, not by manager selection or market timing. We are focused on your security and work tirelessly toward one goal: help you achieve financial peace of mind. As a boutique money management firm, we offer you a service that is personal, private and exclusive. We know you can go many places for financial advice, but the clients of Disciplined Advisors Group benefit from the more than six decades of investment experience in which we are backed. As an independent advisory group, our advice is not influenced by a corporate parent and we are free to choose the right solutions for you. At Disciplined Advisors Group - trust, commitment and caring make up the foundation that provides services to our clients.

Ken does not believe in cookie cutter financial plans. Everyone's needs and goals are different; what may make sense for one person may not make sense for another, even if they are at the same age or stage in life.

This is one of the things that sets Ken apart from other advisors; his commitment to thinking holistically and creatively so that he can help his clients work towards their unique financial goals.Ken is dedicated to helping clients pursue financial independence through practical, values-driven financial plans. Ken focuses on advising clients how to pursue their financial goals, pay less in taxes, affordably pay for college, invest smarter, and properly protect their hard-earned assets. He thrives in his role as a financial mentor and enjoys guiding individuals and families through all stages of their financial lives.

At JMG Wealth Management, I take a client's needs approach. Everyone is different for what they are trying to attain. I listen to what my clients disclose to me and research for them how to best reach their objectives. I have been securities licensed since 1995 and insurance licensed since 1998. My 25 + years of experience in both the securities arena as well as the insurance arena helps my clients address these needs. As of today, July 2024, my 200+ clients have entrusted me with their assets in excess of $32M. My objective is to educate my clients and explain what my recommendations are and why. I want my clients to walk this journey with me and be involved. One thing that has always been a precedent of mine is finding a solution for my clients. I believe in finding the "square peg that will fit in the round hole." This method allows me to research my clients and find the best-case scenario for each of them rather than a "cookie-cutter approach." It is the challenge of this business and what I look forward to every day. I assist my clients in the areas of asset management as well as insurance needs if the need exists. If you are looking for someone that will explore the full financial arena for you or to manage your assets then give me a call.

Before founding LX Parker I served as a wealth manager and private banker at some of the top firms in the industry including: Silicon Valley Bank, Bank of America, USAA, and Ameriprise Financial. I also worked for $300B+ asset management firm, Dimensional Fund Advisors, where I was mentored by the co-CEO. As a CFP® professional, I am required to complete rigorous testing, experience, ethics and continuing education requirements covering investments, retirement, insurance, tax and estate planning. I am bound by the CFP Board's Code of Ethics and am required to put client's interest ahead of my own at all times. I graduated cum laude from Lehigh University at age 20 while pursuing a double major in Finance and Marketing and a double minor in Entrepreneurship and Music Business. I earned my MBA from the University of Texas at Austin where I received the Dean's Leadership Award and was the Inaugural Texas Venture Labs Scholar. On the weekend I recharge my batteries in East Texas at LX Parker Ranch where we use regenerative farming practices to sustainably grow organic hay and grass fed beef on the very land where my ancestors were once enslaved. If I'm not at the ranch, then I'm at church playing the piano for Sunday service.' I met my wife, Christy, at a church summer camp when we were 12 years old. I had a crush on her and she didn't like me. Fast forward, we have been married for over 13 years. We have three wonderful sons Logan (5), Xavier (2) and Parker (infant). LX Parker... See what I did there ;-). If you made it this far you should go ahead and schedule a complimentary consultation.
In 2022 Business Insider rated our founder, Courtney Leffall, as one of the Top 7 Private Bankers in America Under 40. In 2023 when his prior firm, Silicon Valley Bank, collapsed he recognized that the best way to protect and serve clients going forward was to launch independent firm, LX Parker Wealth Management. We are an independently owned and operated boutique wealth management firm dedicated to helping our clients retire early and successfully through sound investment management and comprehensive financial planning.

Life's complicated enough - why not simplify where we can? As a Wealth Coach and co-founder of an independent financial practice , I specialize in helping individuals and families break down big financial goals into practical, manageable steps. Whether you're planning for retirement, navigating a major life change, or just trying to get a better handle on your financial complexities, my goal is to make those decisions feel clear and doable. I earned a degree computer programming, but during the "Great Recession" in 2008, I pivoted into financial planning because I saw how essential clarity and strategy are-especially in times of uncertainty. For the past 16 years, I've focused on helping clients move from feeling overwhelmed to confidence with smart, actionable planning. I hold the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor" (CRPC®) designation from the College for Financial Planning® and am an Investment Adviser Representative with Commonwealth Financial Network®, maintaining FINRA Series 7 and 66 securities licenses. Some of my best lessons about simplicity come from being a dad to two energetic boys (ages 6 and 11). Whether we're building a Lego fortress or talking about saving for something big, they remind me that life should be more about doing what matters and less about stressing over the rest. And honestly, financial planning should feel the same-empowering, not overwhelming. Not everyone wakes up excited to organize life's priorities-but I do. And if that's not your thing, that's okay. You don't have to do it alone. My role is to bring structure, clarity, and encouragement so you can move forward with confidence. Let's simplify, strategize, and move forward-together.
