Find Top Financial Advisors in Missouri City, Texas

Before founding LX Parker I served as a wealth manager and private banker at some of the top firms in the industry including: Silicon Valley Bank, Bank of America, USAA, and Ameriprise Financial. I also worked for $300B+ asset management firm, Dimensional Fund Advisors, where I was mentored by the co-CEO.

As a CFP^® professional, I am required to complete rigorous testing, experience, ethics and continuing education requirements covering investments, retirement, insurance, tax and estate planning. I am bound by the CFP Board's Code of Ethics and am required to put client's interest ahead of my own at all times.

I graduated cum laude from Lehigh University at age 20 while pursuing a double major in Finance and Marketing and a double minor in Entrepreneurship and Music Business. I earned my MBA from the University of Texas at Austin where I received the Dean's Leadership Award and was the Inaugural Texas Venture Labs Scholar.

On the weekend I recharge my batteries in East Texas at LX Parker Ranch where we use regenerative farming practices to sustainably grow organic hay and grass fed beef on the very land where my ancestors were once enslaved. If I'm not at the ranch, then I'm at church playing the piano for Sunday service.'

I met my wife, Christy, at a church summer camp when we were 12 years old. I had a crush on her and she didn't like me. Fast forward, we have been married for over 13 years. We have three wonderful sons Logan (5), Xavier (2) and Parker (infant). LX Parker... See what I did there ;-).

If you made it this far you should go ahead and schedule a complimentary consultation.

Michelle Vargas, Certified Financial Planner^™ is the President of Waymaker Financial Planning, a Fee-Only planning and investment management firm in Fort Worth, Texas. She focuses on helping Christian women make smart money decisions, especially those in transition to retirement, widowhood, and managing wealth for the first time. Her goal is to help all clients successfully navigate their financial life so that they will be worry free and spend more time doing what they love.

After earning a degree in Finance from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 1990, she moved to Orlando, Florida and started her career with Harcourt Brace Publishing. Her journey into personal finance began when she enrolled in her 401K and wanted to learn about additional options to plan for retirement. Not many advisors were willing to help her with her 401K choices, and none offered a written financial plan. In 1994 she left Harcourt Brace Publishing and became licensed to work as a Financial Advisor. In 1998, she completed the rigorous education and experience requirements to become a CFP.

With over 9 years of professional experience as a financial advisor, she daily strives to make the complex simple when advising clients. She often remembers what the experience was like when she was young and looking for an advisor. This memory enables her to be sensitive and patient in all of her interactions. Education is also an important component of her practice, and she has been quoted by CBS News, Yahoo Finance, and MSN.

She and her husband live in Fort Worth, and they have an amazing son Andrew. He is a Young Steinway Artist in graduate school at Texas Christian University. When her son was younger, she was very active in the homeschool community and served as a director, teacher, and support group leader. Her proudest accomplishments are persevering in homeschooling through high school and founding Waymaker Financial Planning.

In her spare time, she enjoys walking through the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens to get inspired to make her own garden more beautiful. Spring is her favorite time of year and she loves exploring backroads filled with beautiful fields of Texas Bluebonnets. Occasionally, when her adventurous side kicks in, she goes white water rafting - with an experienced guide, of course!

Waymaker Financial Planning serves Christian women in all seasons of their lives. We also work with Christian men who are looking for a trusted female CFP so that their wives can begin to learn about family finances now instead of later in a time of grief. We work as Fiduciaries at all times and are Fee-Only Advisors. Our practice is mostly virtual, but we are available for in-person meetings as needed.

We're here to help you achieve your financial goals, manage your money and ultimately, better your life.

Unlike many other investment firms that use a cookie-cutter financial plan for all their investors, we apply our Purpose-Based Asset Management approach. By creating separate compartments for each investor's multiple purposes, we create a structure that allows for a prudent, less emotional investment decision-making process.

We believe that markets are efficient and investment returns are determined by asset allocation and the passage of time, not by manager selection or market timing.

We are focused on your security and work tirelessly toward one goal: help you achieve financial peace of mind. As a boutique money management firm, we offer you a service that is personal, private and exclusive.

We know you can go many places for financial advice, but the clients of Disciplined Advisors Group benefit from the more than six decades of investment experience in which we are backed. As an independent advisory group, our advice is not influenced by a corporate parent and we are free to choose the right solutions for you.

At Disciplined Advisors Group - trust, commitment and caring make up the foundation that provides services to our clients.

Our first priority is helping you take care of yourself and your family or business. We want to learn more about your personal situation, identify your dreams and goals, and understand your tolerance for risk. That cornerstone of open and honest communication allows us to deliver tailored, professional services designed to help our clients rise to their financial independence.
