Later, he joined TD Waterhouse in Oklahoma City, where he was a Senior Investment Consultant and Retirement Specialist, helping clients with their financial and retirement planning needs. Partnering with Brian in 2006, they jointly crafted their firm's client-first, team-oriented service strategy.
Dennis is regularly sought after by media sources such as The Oklahoman, Fox News, and OKCBiz to share his insights and expertise on sound money management techniques. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and holds a bachelor's degree in finance from Oklahoma State University.
Dennis' wife, Keri, is a teacher and serves on the event committee for Anna's House Foundation. They have one daughter, Kaitlyn. Dennis has been an active volunteer within the Oklahoma City Public Schools and the Oklahoma Council on Economic Education, where he advocates for K-12 level financial literacy programs.
