Investment Advisor Representative
Tony G. Arnold
I knew I wanted to do this before I ever left college. A guest speaker at the University of Missouri-Columbia talked about life as a financial advisor, and I stayed after class to ask him questions. Twenty minutes later, I had my direction. I earned my degree in Personal Financial Management from Mizzou, spent over 20 years at John Hancock helping individuals and business owners across the country, and joined Millenia Investments in 2014. More than three decades later, I still get energy from the same thing: sitting down with people and helping them plan for what's ahead.
I listen first. Every client's situation is different, and I don't believe in one-size-fits-all advice. My focus is retirement planning, but the real work starts with understanding your goals, your concerns, and what matters most to you. My clients will tell you the same thing: I hear what's important to them and I work to act in their best interest. Their trust is a privilege, and it's one I never stop working to earn.
I chose this industry for a reason most people don't expect: my family. The flexibility to be present for my wife Laura, my daughter Emily, and my son Will has always been a driving force behind my career. If my kids have a game, I'm in the stands. Born and raised in St. Louis and now living in Town and Country, we're a sports family through and through. When we're not at a school event or on a field, we're cheering on the Cardinals, Blues, Mizzou Tigers, Battlehawks, or City SC together.
