Darren Dindinger is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®), serving clients from across the country out of the firm’s Seattle-area office. As a teenager, Darren witnessed a close family member suffer from the effects of having not received adequate financial guidance, and immediately made a vow that he would learn from the experience and become a student of the subject. From there, a future advisor was born, as Darren went on to graduate from Western Oregon University with a Bachelor of Science in Economics, and later earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Texas A&M University-Commerce. Originally from Alaska, Darren moved with his wife and two daughters to Washington in 2012. When not advising clients, you can find him planning family adventures and cruises, or just enjoying the great outdoors via his love of gardening, hiking, and kayaking.
