2. My wife and I have lived in three different states together and I am now the proud ‘girl dad’ to two loving and energetic girls.
3. I have been to the Grammys.

Sean O'Reilly
Hello, I am Sean O’Reilly. I serve as Portfolio Manager on the team and am the Chief Operating Officer of FFG.
Here are 3 things that I think you should know about me:
1. I believe Financial Advisors need to do better, so I joined FFG in 2006 to help reinvent how a financial services company can better serve people.
2. I graduated college, bought a Jeep, and moved from Illinois to Colorado all in the last week of May in 1999 - and never looked back.
3. I met my wife (a Colorado native) sharing a cab in Denver in 2004, proposed to her in Portugal 2 years later, and now have 2 amazing (albeit crazy) sons.

Blake Barnett
Hello, I am Blake Barnett and I serve as the Senior Planner on the team. Here are 3 things that I think you should know about me:
1. I got into the financial services industry to help people with their money, not "sell" investments.
2. I married my first love, and we now have 2 little girls that have me totally wrapped around their fingers!
3. I grew up in Georgia, so if you hear a slight drawl or hear me using funny words that's from my upbringing. If I sound normal to you, it’s because we both were raised on sweet tea.
