After Austin knocked his summer internship out of the park, Plancorp was eager to welcome him as a full time financial planning associate in 2015. Friendly and outgoing, Austin has an acumen for building rapport with clients and helping understand their individual financial needs.

While in college, he volunteered at the campus financial counseling center, where he worked with fellow students and city residents on a range of financial issues. He brings that same passion for educating others to his role today.

Austin is enjoying being back in St. Louis, where he lived for 10 years before heading to college. On the weekends, you can find him catching Cardinals games, walking in Forest Park or grabbing dinner in The Loop—most likely at Mission Taco, his favorite spot.
