CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional

Marion has spent over 25 years helping successful professionals design one of life’s most important chapters: retiring confidently and creating a sustainable income plan that supports the life they’ve worked hard to build.

She specializes in working with people in their 50s and 60s who want comprehensive financial guidance without getting lost in the details. Her clients appreciate her laid-back, straight-talk approach—she gives you the bottom line first, then drills down into the specifics when and as you need them. No unnecessary complexity, just clarity and a partnership you can count on.

Marion connects naturally with down-to-earth, optimistic people who value meaningful experiences—whether that’s exploring new destinations, giving back to causes they care about, or simply enjoying what they’ve built. She believes financial planning should empower you to live generously and fully, not keep you up at night worrying about details.

Marion was recognized as the No. 22 woman advisor in Colorado and the No. 54 wealth advisor overall statewide on the 2025 list of the Forbes/SHOOK Best-in-State Wealth Advisors. 

A Past President of the Financial Planning Association of Colorado, Marion is committed to advancing the profession and values mentoring emerging financial planners. She takes pride in being a valued guide during a pivotal time in her clients’ lives, helping them transition from accumulation to distribution with confidence and clarity.

When she’s not working with clients, Marion loves to travel (she’s always planning her next adventure), practice archery, and spend time with her two dogs, Juliet and Rosalind, who are frequent companions in her Boulder office.
