Eric Graue

Hi, my name is Rockie Zeigler III. I’m a lifelong Central Illinoisan. I grew up in Normal, then moved to Peoria in the summer of 2000 and I’ve been here ever since. I graduated from Bradley University in 2003 and I also completed studies at the College For Financial Planning. I have an amazing family. A beautiful, patient, and fun-loving wife. Four kids, Astrid (11), Murphy (9), Clarke (7) and Crosby (7). Alright, what else? I love Notre Dame football, basketball and golf. I’m also one of the foremost experts on 90's music in the Midwest. I’ve been featured in media outlets such as CNBC, US News & World Report, The Huffington Post, The Peoria Journal Star, WYZZ Fox 43 Peoria and WMBD TV. I'm also a contributor to the new financial blog MoneyGeek. I’m a CFP® (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™) Professional. Roughly 70% of 'financial advisors' ARE NOT certified in financial planning. Think about that for a second. I'm also an Enrolled Agent with the IRS. Yes, that IRS. It's the highest credential the IRS awards. I'm a member of The XY Planning Network (obviously, I guess) which is a national network of financial planners. We don't have minimum asset requirements, we don't accept commissions, we don't have pushy sales tactics and we're all sworn fiduciaries. Here's some more street cred: Professional licenses/designations: FINRA Series 63 (obtained in 2004) FINRA Series 66 (obtained in 2007) CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Board of Standards Certificate (obtained in 2016) IRS Enrolled Agent Certificate (obtained in 2021)

I'm a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ serving the greater Peoria, IL area and beyond from my office in Morton, IL. My firm, Eagle Ridge Wealth Advisors, provides financial planning, retirement planning, tax planning, and investment management solutions to help clients organize, grow, and secure their financial lives. Eagle Ridge Wealth Advisors is a fiduciary firm that places clients' best interests first.
