Bryn and his wife, Sarah, live in Lewisville, Texas, with their three children. In his free time, he enjoys spending quality time with his family. He is also an active member of his Church. On the weekends, you will find him attending his children's various events and you might occasionally catch him on the golf course with his wife and children. Bryn helps clients identify where they are and what they want to accomplish, and then provides proven strategies to help them realistically and efficiently achieve their financial goals. His clients include individuals and business owners for whom he helps develop customized planning. This is accomplished by using a broad range of planning strategies that incorporate innovative solutions for both investment and retirement goals, as well as legacy and estate planning.
For most people, a comfortable retirement is an admirable aspiration, but unless you track, quantify, and attach a time frame to this aspiration, it rarely becomes an attainable goal. That is where I come in - I will help devise various savings and investing strategies unique to your needs, and we work together to achieve your financial goals . It is my passion to help others find financial freedom and independence by establishing clear goals and practicing financial discipline. As an independent advisor, I have no incentive to recommend only proprietary investment products, so you have the assurance that I am free to act only in your best interest. I provide access to a broad range of investment, retirement, and estate planning strategies. Backed by a team of dedicated professionals and a company committed to service and growth, I take a long-term relationship approach to working with my 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. To Ken, financial independence means reaching the point where work becomes optional and retirement becomes affordablebut each person might define that differently. 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.
I have been an Independent Financial Service Representative since 2000, and have been involved in business management and finances for over 20 years. As any independent advisor, I specialize in working with individuals and small businesses to provide solutions that help his clients to reach their financial goals. While some financial advisors focus on selling products, I focus on solutions, specifically customizing plans to suit my clients' individual needs. I educate clients to lessen their worries and to help them make more informed financial decisions, by offering a professional, independent and unbiased viewpoint. I focus on helping a select group of high net worth individuals and retirees to manage all aspects of their financial lives from investment strategies, retirement planning, estate planning issues, risk management and retirement income distribution.

At JMG Wealth Management, I take a client's needs approach. Everyone is different for what they are trying to attain.

My 20 years of experience in both the securities arena as well as the insurance arena helps my clients address these needs. As of today, November 2021, my 200+ Clients have entrusted me with their assets in excess of $22M. 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 for 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 everyday. 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.

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.
