Our Future

Bob & Marty recognized early on that someone with the same core values, education & experience would need to be brought in to continue the firm's commitment to clients. In 2008 Monika Windle joined Financial Plan Design & has been a natural fit as she shares the firms "client first" Investment Philosophy. She originally attended college to fulfill her desire to become a securities analyst & holds degrees in Economics & Finance. During her graduate work she started an internship at Merrill Lynch & realized that her passion for research would be better suited for working with individual clients vs analyzing individual securities. She brings 18 years of experience as a Financial Consultant, previously working at Merrill Lynch & Washington Mutual. She possesses a strong background in financial planning & has been a Certified Financial Planner since 2007. Her education as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™ professional along with her commitment to looking at the clients full picture vs that of their independent assets, has made her a natural fit in guiding the firm's future.
