What does it mean to be a SmartVestor pro?
I agree to the SmartVestor code of conduct.
I believe everyone deserves access to solid, professional investing guidance. As a SmartVestor Pro, I follow the SmartVestor Code of Conduct1 and provide guidance to each person based on their current needs, no matter where they may be on their financial journey.
I approach financial planning with the heart of a teacher
With the heart of a teacher, and not the attitude of a salesman, I’m someone you can feel comfortable talking to and someone you can trust. We’ll work together to create a plan to help you reach your goals.
I care about your future.
I’m more than a “financial planner”— I’m someone you can relate to and share your dreams with. I fit your investments to your life, help you understand what you’re investing in and why, and encourage you to stick with your long-term goals.
Derek Hines AIF®
Partner and Wealth Advisor
“My wife and I facilitated Financial Peace University2 for the first time in 2010. Since then, we have facilitated a class at least once, sometimes twice a year until COVID-19 caused us to have to put a brief pause on that. The reason that I became a financial advisor was to be able to help those that were ready to start Baby Steps 4, 5, and 6!”

“Dave Ramsey and Ramsey Solutions have had a huge impact on my life and are the reason that I have gotten into the industry. I wanted to be able to help people wherever they may be in their journey, to get a solid foundation under them, and to be able to live and give like no one else.”
