About Bradley J. Christensen

I am contagiously enthusiastic, persistent and ambitious. My activities, work, and volunteer history exhibit a pattern of innovation, competent leadership, and proven success. I am well-suited for roles that require significant interaction with others, tireless motivation, and strong communication skills. I prefer to be proactive, to learn new skills, and to network with people. I find the greatest satisfaction in raising my family. My children are my first priority, though I also believe that part of rearing them is to demonstrate responsibility in all aspects of life. I am fortunate to be married to the most loving, selfless woman on earth, who also happens to be shockingly beautiful. Nicole is my best friend and a phenomenal mother to our children. I find great satisfaction in helping people feel comfortable enough with their finances to do the things that make life worth living. I have an interest in politics at all levels, and a particular affinity for foreign affairs. I have a passion for travel, languages, adventure, and life in general. I enjoy forging relationships with others who are passionate about life.

Experience

1. Investment Advisor

   Ascent Retirement Advisors

   Mar 2018 — Present · Boise, ID, US

   I founded Ascent Retirement Advisors to sharpen the focus of my investment advisory practice on the subsection of the industry that I love most - helping everyday average people establish a strategy for a well-funded retirement.It is in the best interest of society, of government, and of individuals themselves that people be educated about retirement planning and prepare accordingly.Companies offer 401(k) plans and government structures tax benefits to reward participants, but far too few individuals truly understand when to start, how much they need to be saving, and how to invest it.Ascent Retirement Advisors is an attentive, active force in educating participants, ensuring that plan costs are low and funds are well-performing, and that plan sponsors and participants alike receive diligent service.
