Laura Aarnio

As the Branch Operations Manager for the Georgia office, I am responsible for managing all aspects of office administrative functions and assisting Jeff Kirkpatrick as necessary with his clients.

I graduated from San Diego State University with a B.S. in Business Administration with an emphasis on Management and Human Resources.

I have over 30 years of experience with client and account management in various financial industries, which range from banking, mortgage loans, escrow, group health and life insurance, and finally wealth management.

I live with my husband, Alan, a Porsche enthusiast, and guitar luthier, plus our cat, Gu.  We have a daughter, Megan, who is a Clinical Trial Manager for Sangamo Therapeutics with a Ph.D. in biochemistry, and her spouse, Claire, who is a Clinical/Research Psychologist for Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.  We also have two amazing grandchildren, Leo Sean, who is three years old, and Juniper Marie, who is 7 months old.  

During my free time, I enjoy anything outdoors.  I love walking in the local park, sitting on our deck and watching multiple birds enjoying our feeders, spending time on the beach.  Inside, I love reading, playing trivia games, crocheting, and adult coloring.

Finally, my personal vision is to guide all our clients with integrity, passion, and skill.
