Darren Dindinger

Financial Advisor

Darren Dindinger is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®), serving clients from across the country out of the firm’s Seattle-area office. As a teenager, Darren witnessed a close family member suffer from the effects of having not received adequate financial guidance, and immediately made a vow that he would learn from the experience and become a student of the subject. From there, a future advisor was born, as Darren went on to graduate from Western Oregon University with a Bachelor of Science in Economics, and later earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Texas A&M University-Commerce. Originally from Alaska, Darren moved with his wife and two daughters to Washington in 2012. When not advising clients, you can find him planning family adventures and cruises, or just enjoying the great outdoors via his love of gardening, hiking, and kayaking.

Who I Best Work With

Many of the clients I work with choose me because I help them navigate their next stage of life. Whether you’re mindfully winding down your working years or being thrust into retirement ahead of schedule, I help you to design a lifestyle in retirement that feels comfortable with an investment strategy that supports it.  

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, I can help you find the best place to start. Whether it’s diversifying the company stock in your portfolio, creating an estate plan for your wife and kids, or figuring out Social Security and Medicare, I explain things simply and clearly so you not only feel confident, but you’re actually excited for your retirement years.

What Guides My Approach

I remember seeing my father nearly lose everything during the dot-com bubble. Although he was working with an advisor, he felt ignored and alone during this life changing event.

That’s why I’m passionate about educating my clients every step of the way. I don’t view financial planning as just a job. My goal is to help you to appreciate the wealth you’ve created and use it towards your passions as you transition into your retirement years.

“I love seeing the mental shift that happens the moment when clients realize they’re retired. Now I get to help them to finally be comfortable with their finances and enjoying the things they want to do.”
