I chose this profession because I believe it gives me the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of the people I work with. Experience has taught me that the biggest obstacle to financial security for most people is their own behavior. That’s why I seek to form trusting, long term relationships with clients, serving as their personal financial coach by: 1. Helping them set specific and meaningful goals that are aligned with their values 2. Providing them with a comprehensive, personalized plan for effectively pursuing their goals 3. Encouraging and motivating them to adopt and consistently practice the productive financial behaviors necessary to successfully execute their plan 4. Making strategic adjustments in their plan as their circumstances and goals evolve over time I don’t believe in shortcuts to financial security. I advocate time-tested financial principles including prudent and responsible debt management, disciplined saving and investing and a thoughtful insurance strategy for managing financial risk. And as an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR), I am held to a fiduciary standard, required in all cases to act in the clients’ best interests. About First Command First Command was founded in 1958 by a retired Air Force officer intent on improving the financial well-being of service members and their families. Today, more than 500 First Command Financial Advisors across the country and abroad are committed to fulfilling the company’s Mission of “Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security”.

Craig is a thorough and honest advisor. I truly appreciate how he makes me feel at home during every appointment and provides recommendations he would implement himself for his family. He follows through with responding to any of my (our) questions and requests efficiently. Thank you, Craig!

I normally don’t write reviews but in this case I’d be remiss to not do one for Mr. Craig Ames and his team. I must say that Craig is a about his business kind of guy. His follow up/throughs are unmatched. I needed to sign and date a change of Beneficiary form and Craig drove about an hour to my place of work to get it signed. Craig knew how important it was for me and my family to get it done and wasted no time to take care of his client. Craig is the wingman, battle buddy, ship mate, Devil Dawg you want on your team. Craig’s professionalism and knowledge is refreshing and reassuring, Thanks Craig.

We love the new office location. Craig has worked our investments with superb knowledge. He understands our goals, uses his experience to identify areas of concern and planning for future events that we may have not thought of. We highly recommend Craig and First Command for financial guidance.

Craig was very thorough with explaining everything to me and my husband about the ins and outs of investing. What that looks like for us. What we would expect. When things would come up that we wouldn’t fully grasp he would find ways for it to make sense. Very helpful. He made this whole process for us very smooth. We’ve recommended him to friends and family. We are excited to have started this process to really plan for our future! Thanks Craig!
