Jeffrey Pearce, CFP® 

Senior Financial Advisor

Since Jeffrey (Jeff) arrived at Vermillion in 1989, his primary responsibility has been to work one-on-one with his clients to educate and advise them on how to improve the likelihood of reaching their life goals. He does this by helping his clients to work through today’s complex financial issues including investments, taxes, estate planning, retirement, education funding, insurance and cash flow issues.

Jeff has successfully guided many clients into and throughout the retirement life transition. Seeing his clients enjoy their life goals based on realistic planning and expectations provides him with his ultimate career satisfaction.

Outside of work, Jeff has successfully completed several triathlons, including all 140.6 miles of an Ironman Triathlon, and a tandem skydive jump.   While he has many interests outside of the office, his real passions are wine (collecting and drinking), and all things mountains.  His happiest place in the world is on a ski slope!

He and his partner of over 40 years, Patty, have become particularly fond of German Short-Haired Pointer dogs over the years, always having one around!
