Leadership Team
Jen Sapel, CPWA®
Managing Partner
Her interest in personal finance was flamed by experiencing a dramatic lifestyle change after her parent’s divorce. She has since been fascinated with how financial decisions impact our quality of life regardless of your level of wealth.
In her 20 years of practice she’s earned several awards but her favorite accolade was being introduced as “best manager of my career” at an advisor’s retirement party.* She enjoys the questions her kids ask more than most things in life, recently “How was the first person born? It doesn’t make sense because in order to be born, there has to be another person,” being on the list of favorites.
She lives in Denver with her husband Mel, two sons, and dog Jupiter. Together they enjoy biking, hiking, skiing, and reading.
