Jesse Bristow

With over 5 years of industry experience in various roles, including valuable tenures at Fidelity Investments and Charles Schwab, I've dedicated myself to mastering the intricacies of finance. During my time at Fidelity, I excelled in my role and was promoted onto a small, tight-knit, Private Client team. Providing only the most exceptional, white glove, service to the needs of ultra-high-net-worth clients. My role involved using my skills in a fast-paced environment, with not only attention to detail but the ability to build long lasting relationships, collaborating closely with advisors and clients to optimize their account servicing experience. I pride myself on my expertise in market mechanics, trading strategies, options, margin, and retirement accounts. Outside of work, my dedication extends beyond the financial industry. For the past eight years, I've been involved in coaching youth and high school baseball with a travel organization here in Denver. The experience of coaching and leadership has been incredibly rewarding. Guiding these young men to grow and develop both on and off the field brings me immense joy and fulfillment, keeping me young at heart. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, my love for baseball fueled my journey, leading me to play the game I love into college as a division 1 athlete. After experiencing life in various places across the country, I settled in Colorado in 2013 to continue my education and playing career at Colorado State University Pueblo. In these 10 short years, I've grown to love the scenic beauty of Colorado and the warmth of its people. In every aspect of my life, whether on the field or in the financial world, my goal is to make a positive impact. I believe in the power of mentorship to help individuals achieve their full potential. I'm committed to continuing my growth in the financial industry, utilizing my expertise to provide comprehensive life and financial planning services that enhance the lives of those I serve.

Helping people is what drives me, I am constantly inspired by my clients, ordinary people in life who have extraordinary stories! My career in the Financial Industry began in 1990 and is rooted in the relationships I have built with clients. Our casual, and at times deep conversations are not only the best part of the job but allow me to best serve them and ensure we are providing what they need.
Family is my passion! Enjoying life with our five children and sixteen grandchildren is my “why” to financial freedom! I want my clients to make the best financial plans, so they do not have to wait for retirement to get the most out of life. But I also understand the challenges when having to care for a grandchild or an aging parent, as well as dealing with an unexpected death. These life experiences along with my financial expertise give me a unique perspective to helping clients navigate through their own journey.

Embracing new opportunities opens doors to growth, discovery, and endless possibilities. Coming from an animal-related background with a bachelor’s degree in animal science and management, my career path took a delightful turn when I discovered this role while pet-sitting for my now coworker. Taking this new opportunity sparked a rewarding transition into financial services. Alongside my professional endeavors, I cherish my recent marriage to my high school sweetheart, celebrating our journey of love and partnership. Outside of the office, my husband and I share the companionship of our energetic 2-year-old Pitbull. I also find joy in collecting and maintaining my indoor plants, hiking trails or relaxing at the beach.
However, nothing compares to the joy of spending quality time with my beloved family and friends, creating cherished memories together. I am excited to navigate the dynamic intersections of professional growth, personal passions, and the endless possibilities that each day brings.
