I have been a resident of Dallas for over 48 years. I reside in McKinney, Tx. with my wife Tammy, whom I have been married to for 30 years, and our two children Taylor (19) and Addison (17). I enjoy working out, playing golf, and staying active. I also enjoy being involved in my children's lives as much as a 17-yr old & a 19-year-old will let you. I graduated from Texas State University, where my wife and I met.
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.

At BCM, we employ an investment philosophy based on Sector Rotation, a strategy that allows us to focus on specific industries while avoiding the sectors of the market that are out of favor. This stands in direct contrast to the cookie-cutter approach of investing in a basket of mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The portfolios at BCM are custom-tailored to the individual and are aligned with their specific tolerances to risk and volatility. All investment decisions are made in-house, which avoids the typical layering of investment fees.
There is no doubt that next to marrying his lovely bride of 23 years, Janet, this was easily the best decision he ever made. Besides spending time with Janet and his five grandchildren, Jerry loves exploring the Austin culinary scene and a good round of golf when he can fit one in.

FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation and the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA)
designation. I hold my series 7 and 66 licenses, held through LPL Financial along with life and

My wife, Christina, and I reside in Dallas, Texas where I was born and raised. We welcomed

Gratitude shapes everything that I do. I thoroughly enjoy my job and am grateful for all clients
that allow me to spend my days on a practice that I love.
Our financial advisors are held to high industry standards and codes of conduct-with oversight by various regulatory bodies. But responsibility means nothing without the right expertise. That's why many of our advisors go beyond required securities licenses and acquire additional designations to continuously improve their knowledge and skills.

A Dallas native, Kane's academic pursuits led him to the University of Texas at Austin. His decision to become a financial advisor stems from a profound passion for investments and an innate desire to help people improve their financial situation. In his own words, "I want to help people do better for themselves financially and give them confidence in their future."
To Kane, there's no feeling quite like seeing clients get so excited when they achieve their financial aspirations. With a deep understanding that financial growth isn't an overnight affair, Kane's expertise lies in meticulously crafting strategies that aim to ensure sustained, long-term success.
Kane Vines is married to his wife, Anna, and they have two amazing kids, Sadie and Faryn. When he's not putting smiles on clients' faces, Kane Vines enjoys spending time with his family watching movies, listening to music, or traveling.

After earning a degree in Finance from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 1990, she moved to Orlando, Florida and started her career with Harcourt Brace Publishing. Her journey into personal finance began when she enrolled in her 401K and wanted to learn about additional options to plan for retirement. Not many advisors were willing to help her with her 401K choices, and none offered a written financial plan. In 1994 she left Harcourt Brace Publishing and became licensed to work as a Financial Advisor. In 1998, she completed the rigorous education and experience requirements to become a CFP.
With over 9 years of professional experience as a financial advisor, she daily strives to make the complex simple when advising clients. She often remembers what the experience was like when she was young and looking for an advisor. This memory enables her to be sensitive and patient in all of her interactions. Education is also an important component of her practice, and she has been quoted by CBS News, Yahoo Finance, and MSN.
She and her husband live in Fort Worth, and they have an amazing son Andrew. He is a Young Steinway Artist in graduate school at Texas Christian University. When her son was younger, she was very active in the homeschool community and served as a director, teacher, and support group leader. Her proudest accomplishments are persevering in homeschooling through high school and founding Waymaker Financial Planning.
In her spare time, she enjoys walking through the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens to get inspired to make her own garden more beautiful. Spring is her favorite time of year and she loves exploring backroads filled with beautiful fields of Texas Bluebonnets. Occasionally, when her adventurous side kicks in, she goes white water rafting - with an experienced guide, of course!

He has traveled extensively, conducting missions and teaching English classes overseas. He enjoys spending time with his 10 nieces and nephews and is happy that the youngest one shares his name.
After spending some time traveling alone, Peter has developed a greater appreciation for being around family and is happy to form close relationships with his clients, as well as to serve them in the best possible way. Peter enjoys playing the guitar, running, and attending church.

Tim believes the best way to pursue financial success is to embrace a life-long financial plan coupled with proper investment risk management. Tim's ultimate goal is to protect your money during times of anticipated negative volatility so there is capital to invest when new opportunities present themselves. Tim has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from California State University at Northridge and a Masters of Business Administration in Financial Planning from California Lutheran University. He also holds the FINRA series 7, 66, and 24 securities registrations through LPL Financial.
Tim, his wife Carrie, and their sons Logan and Luke reside in Lufkin Texas with their retired guide dog breeder Bea.

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.
