About Kurt Van Wagenen
Founder & Financial Consultant
MBA | Licensed in Life & Health Insurance | Series 6
Experience
22 Years of Military Service
Kurt served over two decades in the U.S. Air Force, rising to the rank of Master Sergeant. His career spanned aircraft maintenance, quality assurance, and leadership across a range of high-performance aviation programs — including stealth, fighter, and helicopter platforms.
His final years of service were spent guiding and developing airmen as a First Sergeant — bringing structure, mentorship, and mission-focused leadership to everything he did.
Financial Services & Client Advocacy
After retiring from the Air Force in 2018, Kurt transitioned into the financial world through an accelerated veterans program with Wells Fargo. He spent two years as a branch manager before fully committing to a career in financial consulting.
Today, Kurt is licensed to provide life insurance and financial planning services through a network of experienced professionals. He’s passionate about helping others build strategies that are clear, protective, and personal.
Whether you're just starting out or planning the next phase of life, Kurt brings a rare blend of discipline, empathy, and insight to every client relationship.
