### Jim Eckel

CFP®, CLU®

Founder & CEO

Jim founded FinancialAdvisors.com with a vision originating from 1986, when he was a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch. He purchased the domain in the mid-1990s as an independent CFP® to create a platform where qualified advisors could connect with consumers seeking their expertise — without relying on traditional networking. Based in San Clemente, CA.

### Dennis Eckel

Business Development Manager

Dennis brings a particular mindset to expanding the FinancialAdvisors.com network. He spent his career in commercial real estate — including roles with Prudential Commercial Real Estate and Merrill Lynch Commercial Realty — before running his own property management firm. That experience provided him with valuable insights into business cycles, relationship-building, and what it takes to develop an asset. He applies that same dedication to forging strategic partnerships and strengthening engagement across our advisor network. Dennis is based in San Clemente, CA.
