In 2016, after spending 25 years with the world’s leading financial planning company, I founded Gibson Wealth Advisors, LLC.   As a Registered Investment Advisory firm, we work directly for our clients, not for a brokerage firm or corporation, and we're held to a fiduciary standard.    That means that we are required to act in our client's best interests.   We do not have any products to sell and we never receive commissions, bonuses, trips or other incentives from third-party any corporations.    We get paid for providing financial advice, not for selling things.

I received a BBA in finance from the University of Texas at Arlington and joined Ameriprise soon after.
