I have owned and operated this legacy investment-only RIA (founded by my dad in 1986) since 2019, and I'm reinventing our business as a planning-forward firm serving individuals and families with equity compensation. My pursuit and passion since taking the reigns at Resource Design has been to offer financial planning to an interesting group of people who I can relate to. We offer financial planning services, including investment advice and management, to individuals or families with equity compensation (stock options and RSUs). I find the complexity that equity compensation brings to the more traditional aspects of financial planning fascinating, especially in how it relates to the particular goals of individuals with equity comp, like reaching financial independence, retiring in their 50s, or taking one or more sabbaticals during their careers. And as a father of two young children, I know that there can be so much more to your financial picture than "just" your retirement prospects: buying a home, keeping spending in check, balancing student loans (or other debt service), taking family vacations, saving for your children's future, getting a will or other estate planning in place, developing an appropriate investing strategy, navigating taxes, or career changes. My credentials and education: • Certified Financial Planner® professional • MBA, University of Kentucky • BBA, Finance, University of Kentucky Prior to the financial advice industry, I worked in a variety of analytical and finance roles in logistics at Ryder, as well as some cherished time in the best restaurants in Lexington, KY (front and back of house). My wife Megan and our two daughters (so far) Beatrice and Ruby, live in Fort Collins, a mid-size town in Northern Colorado. I met Megan during our collegiate swimming days at the University of Kentucky, and I've since moved on to the many other athletic pursuits the beautiful state of Colorado offers: running, road cycling/MTB, hiking, skiing... the list goes on. Other fun facts: we have four cats, two electric cargo bikes, and (just) one car. Oh, and I bake about 100 loaves of sourdough bread a year.

You're a successful professional looking for a financial planner with the experience to create and support effective strategies for accomplishing your financial goals while cutting through the complexity. Between your career or retirement, hobbies, and personal life, you've got a full plate. Even if you could do your own financial planning, you'd still want a pro to confirm that you're making the right money moves. I'm Your Full-Time Fiduciary®. My name is Jason Speciner. I'm a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Enrolled Agent, and the founder of Financial Planning Fort Collins ("FPFoCo"). Having served clients as a financial planner since 2004, I bring over two decades of expertise to every client relationship. While many find tax law and tax preparation to be “boring,” I thrive on staying up to date on the ever-changing landscape. My dual specializations in investments and tax allow me to bring tax planning into every aspect of the financial planning process, including personalized investment portfolio construction. At FPFoCo, we understand that building your financial plan starts with getting to know you and your goals. We also realize that there's a heck of a lot more to your financial life than your investment mix of stocks, bonds, and cash. That's why we work as an ensemble (two additional CFP® pros) to develop and support your financial plan. (e.g., one of my colleagues crafts remarkable cash-flow plans and provides in-depth insurance analysis and recommendations) I am a Colorado State University alum, and I live in Fort Collins with my wife, Casey. We share our home with our three kids and our French bulldogs, Arthur Vandelay and Babs Kramer. My personal interests include technology, cooking, travel, and sports.

You're a successful individual or couple looking for a financial planner who will support you and celebrate with you as you reach money milestones large and small. Among your career, hobbies, social life, and more, you've got a full plate. Even if you could do your own financial planning, you'd still want a pro to confirm that you're making the right money moves. You may also be Childfree, and you want your financial planner to share your values and understand your unique approach to life. That's where I and the team here at Financial Planning Fort Collins ("FPFoCo") come in. Hi! I'm Regina Neenan (they/them), CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and Your Full-Time Fiduciary®. I know that building your financial plan starts with getting to know you and your goals. I also realize that there's a heck of a lot more to your financial life than your investment mix of stocks, bonds, and cash. That's why I'll work with my colleagues (two additional CFP® pros) with an ensemble approach to developing your financial plan. It'll cover your cash-flow, investment, tax, insurance, and estate planning on your way to achieving your goals. (P.S. One of my colleagues prepares personal income tax returns and manages investments for our clients, aka people like you.) I've been with FPFoCo since 2018 and thrive on creating truly comprehensive financial plans. Knowing that everyday income, spending, and saving make big-picture financial plans successful, I have a passion for optimizing cash-flow planning strategies. I also specialize in right-sizing your insurance policies to fit your needs, protecting you, your assets, and your future. In fact, I'm the director of cash-flow and insurance planning and FPFoCo’s resident DINKWAC (that’s short for “dual income no kids with a cat”). Outside of work, I enjoy playing hockey and being active in the great outdoors with my partner Zack. At home, you can find me listening to podcasts or cuddling my cat Coco.
