KEITH FICHTNER - EDWARD JONES

As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I believe it's important to invest my time in understanding what you're working toward before you invest your money. Whether you're planning for retirement, saving for college or just trying to protect the financial future of the ones you care for the most, we can work together to develop specific strategies to help you achieve your goals and dreams. 

The world also is changing, with environmental and social pressures growing more acute.  The good news is there's a growing realization that sustainable companies can be part of the solution to today's global challenges such as climate change.  Investors are coming to realize that companies can be differentiated based on how well they manage their environmental and social impact and the strength of their governance.   I hope to make a difference to enjoy the planet and community I live in.  I was born and raised in Montana. I enjoy a quiet day fly fishing on the many rivers in Montana. My family and I also enjoy hiking around Montana and camping. We make a point to visit Glacier National Park and hike each and every year.
