“As my client base and staff have grown, it has become less about me and more about how I can empower others to embrace our carefully crafted culture”

Alex Klinkhammer began his career in financial services in 2010 after graduating from Belmont University in Nashville, TN.
Inspired by a vision to propel his firm and the financial advice industry forward, his barometer continues to be something his father, Joe Klinkhammer, told him early in his career: “It’s about commitment and striving to always do right and well for each individual. Every day brings new challenge and intrigue. We’re committed to excellence – whether it’s providing a plan for the future or guidance along someone’s path. It’s about people.”
Klinkhammer’s commitment to maintaining a fiduciary partnership alongside his valued clients, ranging from the music and entertainment industry to business owners, entrepreneurs, and families have made Alex an exceptional second-generation leader and partner of his firm.
As part of the financial advice industry’s next generation, he continuously stands out as a driving force through performance, thought leadership, and demonstration of his understanding of the future of financial advice.
Klinkhammer holds the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) and Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) designations. He is also a multi-year winner of Five Star Professional’s Five Star Wealth Manager and Five Star Wealth Manager Under 40 awards, appearing in the Twin Cities Business Journal, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, Forbes, Fortune, and The Wall Street Journal.

“From my earliest memories, I always had a passion for service,” says David Pickler, president and CEO of Pickler Wealth Advisors.
After joining investment bank PaineWebber in 1984, the CEO decided to pursue a legal education with the hopes of combining this passion for finance and the law.
“I found equal fulfilment in advising in the legal arena. I began to build a plan for a career that could serve both sets of clients. I wanted to fulfil the dream of building a practice that could incorporate financial advocacy, legal advocacy and, eventually, tax and accounting. A place that was truly client-centric,” reflects Pickler.
With certifications in private wealth and financial planning and a law degree from the University of Memphis, Pickler established his firm in 2005.
“Pickler Wealth Advisors opened with a team dedicated to delivering unparalleled client service. Our goal was to set new standards of excellence. We were, and still are, dedicated to client service that exceeds that found at wirehouses.”
With over 25 years of industry expertise, Pickler knows that establishing client trust is all about communication. The firm’s robust strategy includes an array of weekly market calls, podcasts and television episodes that educate clients and provide updates on recent market occurrences.
As a result of his outstanding dedication to client services, Pickler has won a number of awards:
Barron Magazine’s Top 1,000 Financial Advisors
Financial Times Top 400 Advisors
Forbes’ Best-in-State Wealth Advisor
Forbes Best in State Wealth Advisor
Financial Planning Magazine Pro Bono Planner of the Year
Boston Magazine Five-Star Wealth Manager
As a testament to Glazer’s dedication to providing leading financial management services, Mayflower Advisors holds a 98 percent client retention rate – serving three generations of clients.
Despite being in business for 50 years, Glazer remains dedicated to reimagining how to better partner with the next generation of clients and their families.
“We live and breathe relationships and service. We have been through it all – recession, financial crisis, bull markets, inflation – and along the way we can see what works. We have helped hundreds of families retire, finance their dreams, and send their children and grandchildren to college. When the families call and thank us or send pictures, it is incredibly rewarding.”
Glazer recalls dinner conversations as a child with his father sharing valuable financial lessons that he still uses today.
“We talked about savings, the dangers of debt, living within your means, paying down your mortgage, and not being impressed by flash. We employ those same basic lessons in managing risk and educating our clients,” says Glazer.
“At the end of the day, we are in the business of serving others and understanding their values,” continues the co-founder. “Our practice strives to offer a culture of stability, accountability, and teamwork, focusing exclusively on serving the long-term financial life management needs of our clients.”
With over 25 years of experience, Glazer has received a collection of accolades throughout his career, including:
