Meet Monica

Monica is originally from San Diego, California. She grew up in a family whose primary investments were in real estate. In college, she worked as a computer consultant where one of her clients was an active stock and options trader. He taught her about market cycles and how he made his investment decisions. He would ask her opinions on some of his trades and he was the first person to suggest that she consider a career as an investment advisor.

Monica’s first job in finance was at the age of 15 where she was taught that hard work, perseverance, and dedication pays off.

Monica still lives in San Diego with her husband Adam and their French Bulldog, Jack. In her free time, she likes to find homes that need TLC and make them beautiful again, collect and restore antiques, spend time with family, and travel to Hungary when she can. She also enjoys sports, fashion, and philanthropic endeavors.

As a second generation native and the youngest of four children, Travis J. Matheny grew up in Aurora, Colorado. He graduated from Overland High School in 1997 and began his college education the next fall at The University of Northern Colorado. After a short one year stint there he transferred to Colorado State University where he graduated in 2002 with a major in political science and a minor in history. 

After graduating Travis found his way into the financial services industry where he has remained for the past 15 years. He has held various positions with companies that specialize in retirement planning, healthcare, life insurance, financial record-keeping, client management, retirement plan implementation, and financial sales. 

Travis' passion for the industry can be traced to experiences he had early on when he worked as a inbound customer service agent that talked directly to individuals that had questions and concerns about their retirement plans. It became clear that most of those that wanted to retire at a time down the line clearly lacked the one tool that would ensure they could achieve this objective; FINANCIAL LITERCY.  This became the catalyst for Travis to start his own practice in July 2014 with a mission of educating everyday people with the knowledge to help them achieve their goals and objectives.

Travis is also very active member of his community in various ways. Rather that be serving on the Board of Directors of two different pubic non-profit organizations, volunteering in schools, or championing topics that promote better healthcare and financial education. His goal was and continues to be that "you give to the community first that will help you grow your business later".
