Hi there — I’m Ceree. I’ve been in the investment advisory industry for 20 years and have spent the past 25 years volunteering in animal welfare. I currently serve as Board Chairman, Treasurer, and a kitten foster for Best Buddy Pet Rescue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, foster-based dog and cat rescue based in Lake Orion. Originally from Ohio, I made my way to Michigan by way of the South Florida Gulf Coast — a journey that’s shaped both my perspective and my approach to work and life.

My passion for helping others has always extended beyond rescue and into the heart of my professional work. As Director of Operations, I oversee the core mechanics that keep our business running smoothly — from billing and asset reporting to compliance, technology, and client account maintenance. I’m known for my consistency in building and upholding strong operational processes, but what drives me is deeper than just systems and spreadsheets.

Some of my earliest memories are of my grandfather farming, running his own businesses, and building a legacy for his family. That stayed with me. I chose this field because I care deeply about helping people — especially retirees — protect their financial futures and create something lasting for the ones they love. It’s a mission I’m proud to pursue every day, alongside a team that shares the same heart, values, and sense of purpose.
