Ashley has 15 years of experience in the financial services industry. She comes from a family with a combined 120 years of financial services experience: her father has been an advisor for 35 years, her uncle for 30, and her grandfather for 40 years. Ashley knows from first-hand experience how important it is to generate a reliable monthly income in retirement. She wants everyone to avoid what her grandmother experienced after choosing a “cash-and-stocks” option instead of a pension when she retired from AT&T in 1999—losing 50% of it a year later in the dot.com crash. Raised in Texas, Ashley has homes in Austin, Las Vegas and Scottsdale. She is an animal activist raising two adopted fur babies, Bodhi and Bianca.
