Accredited Asset Management Specialist ®
Adam P. Ghantous
I have been in the financial services industry since 2011, and have been a licensed Financial Advisor since 2013. Growing up in Bloomington, IL, home to State Farm insurance, kept the bug of insurance and finance in the back of my mind. However, in 2003, my father passed away and left my mother on her own to raise four boys. While my mom is a hero in so many ways, she didn’t have as deep of an understanding on long term financial planning. In doing research about what was best for her and our family, I started to fall in love with it. I knew that there were so many out there like my mother who had their hands full with their careers and family and looked to someone they could trust to help with the rest.

With a background as a former educator, I have dedicated my career to empowering others and helping them pursue their goals. After leaving the classroom to focus on raising my own children, I now channel my passion for support and organization in an effort to ensure our clients and team members thrive. My biggest hope is to have a positive impact in every role I embrace.
