Good insurance is only one piece of protecting what matters. These are professionals I know personally and trust — people I’d refer to my own family.
Over the years — growing up in Littleton, going to school at CSU Fort Collins, building a business in Colorado Springs, and staying active in professional networks including BNI — I’ve built relationships with a lot of outstanding people. The professionals on this page are ones I’ve personally worked with, referred clients to, or know well enough to stand behind. I don’t list anyone I wouldn’t send my own family to.
If you need a referral in a category not listed here, or want a personal introduction to anyone on this list, reach out directly. I’m happy to make the connection.
Before buying a home, hiring a contractor, or making a major financial move — make sure your insurance coverage is current and complete. Book a free 30-minute review and I’ll make sure you’re protected before you need it.
The professionals you need when buying, financing, or planning your financial future
My single top referral across any category. A great financial advisor ties everything together — insurance, investments, retirement, estate planning, and tax strategy. If you only use one resource from this entire page, start here. Ask me for a personal introduction.
Responsive mortgage professionals who explain what you’re signing and deliver on promised timelines. Specializes in conventional, VA, and FHA financing across Colorado.
Local agents who know the Colorado Springs market inside and out — from first-time buyers and military relocations to investment properties and move-up buyers. Ask me who fits your situation.
Title companies I’ve worked with who handle closings smoothly and catch issues before they become problems. Essential for any real estate transaction, residential or commercial.
Local and regional banks with strong small business and commercial offerings — business checking, lines of credit, SBA loans, and relationship banking that means something beyond a 1-800 number.
Consistently the most in-demand professional referral I get. If you have life insurance but no estate plan — wills, trusts, beneficiary designations — the picture isn’t complete. These attorneys specialize in getting that right.
Tax preparation and planning for individuals, families, and small businesses — S-corps, LLCs, self-employed professionals, and growing companies. Works well alongside a financial advisor.
Individual, family, and small group health insurance specialists. Navigating health coverage options is genuinely complex — having someone in your corner who knows the market saves time and often money.
Rental property management for landlords who don’t want to field tenant calls themselves. One important note: make sure your landlord insurance policy is active before the first tenant moves in.
Licensed, reliable contractors and home service professionals — among the most requested referrals I get
One of the most-requested trades in Colorado Springs — especially after hail season. These roofers give honest assessments and don’t just chase whatever insurance will pay. Licensed, local, and accountable.
Licensed electricians for residential and light commercial work — panel upgrades, EV charger installs, new construction wiring, and service calls. Consistently one of the hardest trades to find a good one.
Heating, cooling, and ventilation service, repair, and installation. Colorado’s temperature swings make HVAC reliability critical — you don’t want to be searching for someone in the middle of a January cold snap.
Residential and commercial plumbing from emergency repairs to full remodels. Another highly requested trade. Ask me for a specific referral based on what you need.
Full-service contractors for remodels, additions, and new construction. Licensed, insured, and known for clear communication, honest bids, and actually finishing on schedule.
Reliable handymen for the jobs that don’t require a full contractor — repairs, installations, small projects, and punch-list items. A good handyman is harder to find than people expect.
Interior and exterior painting, finish work, and decorative services. Quality painters who prep properly, clean up completely, and stand behind the final product.
Landscaping, lawn care, and tree services for residential and commercial properties. Colorado’s altitude and climate require someone who actually knows what grows here and when.
Residential and commercial cleaning — recurring service, move-in/move-out, and deep cleaning. Vetted, professional, and trustworthy enough to be in your home when you’re not.
Water damage, fire damage, and mold remediation specialists. When something goes wrong you want someone you trust on-site fast — these professionals also know how to work alongside insurance claims properly.
Thorough inspectors who tell you exactly what they find — not just what you want to hear. Essential for any purchase, and worth it before listing a property as well.
Local and long-distance movers who treat your belongings with care. Good movers are absolutely worth the cost — bad ones teach that lesson the hard way.
Vehicle purchasing, repair, and Colorado-specific auto specialties
An auto broker works for you — not the dealership. They find the right vehicle at a fair price without the pressure. Especially useful for specific makes, models, or hard-to-find vehicles.
Honest car dealerships and sales professionals I’ve personally worked with. Buying a car should feel straightforward — these folks make it that way.
Paintless dent repair specialists for hail damage — one of the most relevant services in Colorado. After a major storm, shops book up fast. Having a trusted contact ready before hail season is worth it. Ask me for a referral.
Honest, reliable auto repair shops — the kind where you don’t need a second opinion on every recommendation. General repair, diagnostics, and maintenance for most makes and models.
Professional interior and exterior detailing. Whether you’re maintaining a personal vehicle, prepping one for sale, or just want it looking right — quality detailing makes a real difference.
Attorneys and business professionals who handle the serious stuff
If you’ve been in an accident and need legal representation, having a trusted attorney in your corner matters — especially when dealing with insurance companies on the other side. These attorneys work on contingency and fight for fair outcomes.
Legal counsel for family law, business formation, contracts, and disputes. Having an attorney relationship before you urgently need one is always the better position to be in.
Reliable notary services for legal documents, real estate transactions, and financial paperwork. Mobile notary appointments available when needed.
Professionals who help businesses get found, grow, and operate more effectively
Local digital marketing professionals who understand small business budgets and deliver measurable results — search rankings, Google Business Profile optimization, and local SEO that actually moves the needle.
Content creation, social media management, and online advertising for businesses that don’t have bandwidth to do it in-house. Specializes in authentic, locally-rooted content that builds real trust.
Broader advertising strategy — print, digital, radio, and creative services for businesses looking to extend reach beyond organic social media. Good creative shops think about ROI, not just impressions.
Healthcare and wellness professionals who take a whole-person approach
Highly recommended for accident recovery, ongoing maintenance care, and general wellness. If you’ve been in an auto accident, getting evaluated promptly is important for both your health and any insurance claim you may file.
Physical therapy for injury recovery, post-surgery rehab, and performance improvement. Colorado is an active state — these PTs understand active lifestyles and specialize in getting people back to doing what they love.
Licensed massage therapists for therapeutic and relaxation massage. Excellent for stress relief, injury recovery, and ongoing wellness maintenance. Colorado Springs has exceptional practitioners in this space.
Family and general dentistry practices I trust — dentists who are thorough, honest about what work is actually needed, and good at making the experience as comfortable as possible.
Certified personal trainers who work with clients at all levels — from post-injury recovery to performance training and weight loss. Colorado Springs has a strong fitness culture and these trainers are part of what makes it great.
Photographers, stylists, travel pros, and event specialists who make life better
Professional photographers for headshots, family portraits, real estate, events, and commercial work. Colorado’s scenery is unmatched — these photographers know how to use it and deliver images worth keeping.
Travel agents who genuinely add value — vacation packages, international travel, cruises, and destination planning where professional connections and expertise save you real time and often real money.
Event planning professionals for weddings, corporate events, and special occasions. The Pikes Peak region has incredible venues — these planners know them, know the vendors, and know how to execute without drama.
Talented stylists in the Colorado Springs area for cuts, color, and styling. A great stylist is one of those referrals people guard carefully — these ones I’m comfortable sharing.
Local florists for events, weddings, and everyday arrangements. Supporting local flower shops means fresher product, better customization, and someone who actually cares about the result.
The professionals listed here are people I know through years of living and working in Colorado — through professional networks, shared clients, personal experience, and community involvement. I am not compensated for referrals. I don’t list anyone I wouldn’t refer to a family member. That said, every professional relationship is different, and I always encourage you to do your own due diligence and get multiple opinions where it makes sense. If you want a personal introduction to anyone in a specific category, reach out directly — I’m happy to make that connection.
If you need a referral in a category not listed here, reach out. Between growing up in Colorado, going to CSU, and building my network across the state over the years, there’s a good chance I know someone worth calling.
