“I enjoy learning what my clients are passionate about; hearing them share stories of their families, and things they’ve done in their lives, whether it be a recent volunteer experience or the recent vacation they took. Being a small part of those stories and helping facilitate those memories is what I enjoy most.”

Jarret joined the Gilbert & Cook team in November 2019.  In his role as Advisor, Jarret helps clients and families achieve their goals. He values the process of helping clients transition from saving and working all those years to retirement and living their life of abundance. Working with clients to show them what all their hard work, investing, and making smart choices has led to and made possible for them as they transition into retirement.
