VAN
Registered Assistant
In the summer of 1975, Van began work as an accountant in central Illinois after having earned his Master’s Degree in Agricultural Economics and Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture, both from the University of Missouri. In his two years there, Van established working relationships with farmers and community members that have continued to do business with him for what is now nearly 50 years.
​
In 1977 Van and his wife Mary Ann moved to Hutchinson, Kansas to work with one of the state university’s agricultural accounting programs, doing taxes for farmers and ranchers. Not long after that, Van opened his own accounting firm and continued his accounting work with farmers in Illinois and Kansas for the next 20+ years.
​
After building a thriving accounting firm in central Kansas and being the entrepreneur that he is, Van sold a large portion of the accounting practice so as to start an investment services business. In the late 1990s Van started doing business as Financial Solutions, Inc. In the 25+ years in the investment industry, Van has successfully built a thriving investment services business. In his nearly 50 years in the financial services industry, whether it be taxes or investments or insurances, Van has always emphasized strong client relationships and meeting clients where they are at, both literally and figuratively.
Van has the following security licenses: Series 6, 7, 24, 63, and 66. Additionally he holds licenses for life, health and long-term care insurance. Van’s current role is a Registered Assistant with Osaic Wealth, Inc.
