Meet Stephen
My goal is to provide our clients with high quality service in everything from help with forms to more complicated research questions.
Prior to joining Chessman Wealth Strategies, I was a practice support associate for a brokerage firm in the greater St. Louis, MO area for 3 years. I am a graduate of the University of Missouri – Columbia, with a Bachelors in Personal Financial Management Services and a Personal Financial Planning Certificate.
I enjoy spending time with my family and cooking new things.

Christmas. Christmas has always been a special holiday for my family. It seems to be the one holiday that we always make sure that we can be together.

My Biggest accomplishment:
Becoming an Eagle Scout. The journey that my scouting career took me on to earn my Eagle Scout was deeply impactful on my life from every aspect from business to my own personal interest.
