He is excited about the opportunity to help people make the smart financial decisions that are essential to long-term financial security. A graduate of Evergreen State College with a Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts, Austin holds Series 65, 66, Series 7 securities licenses plus life and health insurance licenses in Washington, Oregon, Maryland, Virginia, and DC.
