Raymond James welcomes $950 million advisor team in Colorado Springs
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Raymond James recently welcomed a team of ten financial advisors to Raymond James Financial Services (RJFS) – the firm’s independent advisor channel – according to Kirk Bell, Central division director for RJFS.
Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado with offices throughout Texas, Springs Wealth Group is led by managing partners Bob Book, AIF®, Andrew Inman, CEPA®, Tim Mason, ChFC®, CLU®, Chris Van Stavern, CMFA®, and Chris Young, CEPA®, BFA, APMA®. They are joined by financial advisors Kristen Christensen, Travis Crowell, Bryan Ladrow, Camden Steele and Jerrad Bridgmon, as well as 13 branch professionals.
“We chose Raymond James for its strong culture rooted in integrity, independence and advisor support. It’s clear the firm is deeply committed to empowering advisors and prioritizing what’s best for their clients — values that align perfectly with our own,” said Young.
The team arrives from Ameriprise Financial where they previously managed approximately $950 million in client assets. Together, they provide personalized and comprehensive financial services to clients which include business owners, families and those in or nearing retirement.
“Making a transition isn’t something we take lightly. That being said, we are extremely excited for the enhanced experience that partnering with Raymond James will provide for both our clients and the entire team at Springs Wealth Group,” added Inman.
“It’s my pleasure to welcome the talented team of advisors and professionals at Springs Wealth Group to Raymond James. Their dedication to quality client service makes for an excellent fit with the firm as we continue to grow with advisors who value both autonomy and a people-first approach,” said Bell.
