Autumn brings a counselor's heart to her financial planning relationships. With a degree in psychology and multiple years in education as both a teacher and counselor prior to financial advising, Autumn seeks to understand what motivates each person she partners with. Financial planning at Styled Wealth is different - it is custom to a life best lived as defined by the client's priorities, values, and motivations. You care about securing your own future and that of your aging parents or perhaps a child or loved one needing more support that 'traditional' measures? Let's discuss how to do that. You need support balancing many competing priorities of svaing for retiring and saving for a home purchase while wating to have a sufficient emergency and 'bump this' fund all while hopefully ensuring your children are unburdened once they go into the workforce? Bet. Let's see what it takes! Styled Wealth is designed to *collaboratively* guide people toward confident, informed (financial) decisions. We do not charge specifically for investments managed because we know your resources have many competing priorities and want to remain aligned to a solution that best fits your priorities. Autumn has specific knowledge irregular cashflow management, sabbatical planning, financial independence (as in “financial independence, retire early,” or FIRE). Her background as a high school counselor has given her deep experience with college planning, advanced student loan strategies, and even FAFSA and CSS Profile knowledge. Autumn is a five-time Investopedia Top 100 Advisor and is listed on Financial Advisor's 2023 10 Young Advisors to Watch. She is routinely quoted in publications such as Investopedia, CNBC, NerdWallet, CBS News and Fortune. Autumn is involved with the local Teach For America chapter, Junior League community, and a VEST member - a peer network and investment fund for women. She is also a former national Financial Planning Association NexGen President, an association with over 20,000 members. Autumn's personal life strongly influences her ability to communicate as a financial planner. She is a first-generation high school and college graduate. She can relate to people who find personal finance mystifying, and she helps empower them toward a productive relationship with their personal finances. Autumn is a spouse and a mother to two young children, who offer her opportunities to become a better person and communicator each day.

While I serve a variety of clients, the people who typically find my services the most valuable are Faith-based Individuals and Families. Before they come to SageOak®, many of my Christian clients struggle to get their finances, investments, and overall stewardship aligned with biblical principles. They tend to experience confusion, stress, shame, unfulfillment, and a genuine lack of true financial peace. At SageOak, I provide biblical financial life planning that is clear, understandable, and effective. This helps Christians align their finances to biblical principles. And when they do, they make wiser decisions that lead to greater contentment, fulfillment, and ultimately, have an eternal impact on their family, church, community, and God’s Kingdom. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I help bring order to your investments, retirement, taxes, insurance, estate plan, and cash flow so you will have fewer worries about your overall financial plan. As a Certified Kingdom Advisor®, I serve you with biblical financial advice on how to best meet the goals God has given you in being a steward of the finances entrusted to you. This can give you assurance that your plan is in line with your faith and values.

At SageOak®, I help clients reduce stress and free up time to focus on the things that matter most to them, such as faith, family, and friends. While I serve a variety of clients, the folks who typically find my services the most valuable are working/medical professionals, business owners, near/current retirees, and faith-based individuals/organizations. For many of my clients, faith is an important part of their lives, but regardless of their faith background or season of life, clients usually seek me out to delegate the stress and headache that normally come with managing their own financial planning and investment needs. I started SageOak in 2013 and serve clients in person and virtually across the country. As Managing Director, I help develop and integrate our firm’s long-term vision and strategic plan, as well as provide ongoing financial planning, investment management, and wealth management services to our clients. On a more personal note, I grew up in a small town in northeastern Indiana. Before entering the financial services industry, I worked briefly in intercollegiate athletics as a college golf and basketball coach at a small Christian college in Kansas. I currently live in the Tulsa, OK area with my wife, who works part-time as a Physician Assistant. We’ve lost two children in miscarriages over the years, but God has also blessed our family with a rambunctious boy, four sweet girls, and an energetic Cavapoo named Hoosier! In our community, I currently serve on the board of directors for Classically Formed Inc., which operates Tulsa Classical Academy, Oklahoma's first public tuition-free classical charter school. I previously served on the board of directors for Happy Hands Education Center, a local Christian school for children from birth to age 6 who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have other communication disorders. I have also volunteered with various other local ministries and non-profits over the years, and my family and I are very active in our local church, Grace & Peace (PCA), where I serve as an ordained elder. For fun, I enjoy playing an occasional round of golf, staying physically active, reading good books, traveling to new places, and enjoying the craziness of raising five kids and a dog!

I’m a native Oklahoman and I’ve spent the last decade working in wealth management firms before launching 1522 Financial in 2022. Previously, I was Chief Investment Officer at an independent Trust Company in Oklahoma. 1522 Financial is a modern wealth management firm that focuses on delivering innovative financial plans without unnecessary complexity. I believe planning should be like most things in life – flexible, and we do not require clients to have me manage their assets in order to work with us. Whether we’re diving into complex financial planning or helping to create investment portfolios to meet clients’ goals – we are a fiduciary. I’m a proud graduate of Oklahoma State University for both my Masters and Bachelors degrees. I also completed the Executive Program in Financial Planning from the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business. In addition, I hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and Chartered Financial Analyst designations. I’ve spent most of the last decade building on my knowledge of financial planning, financial markets, and investing in an effort to be the best possible resource for my clients. When I’m not helping clients, you can find me spending time with my family and friends, playing golf, and playing guitar. I’m also an avid reader and am always up for a good book recommendation.

Financial Advisors rarely plan for themselves, like they do for their clients. If something were to happen, the clients might lose their Advisor, the business is likely to collapse, and the Advisor’s family is at risk of losing everything. Ellevate Advisors provides financial planning and business transition consulting for Financial Advisors so that when they sit down to dinner with their family, they can relax because they know that they’ve secured their family’s future and created a business that lasts. I started in the financial services industry with my family’s Ameriprise practice. After passing the Series 7, 66, and OK Insurance exams, I worked as an Associate Advisor for several years, supporting several hundred client relationships, servicing 1-2 dozen retirement plans, and assisting with several business transitions with a client retention rate of over 95%. As a 3rd generation CFP, I wanted to challenge myself with new experiences and left the family firm to provide professional paraplanning for fee-only advisors, while I obtained the credentials of CFP®, CEPA®, ChFC®, and CKA®. I served on the Tulsa Board of the Financial Planning Association, including one term as President. I started the FPA NexGen Tulsa group to support younger advisors. One of the reasons my husband and I started Ellevate is because Financial Advisors deserve to retire too. What does retirement mean to you, your family, and your business? Let’s figure it out together!
