April has been a key member of the firm since 2010 and was promoted to Vice President in 2017. Her responsibilities include overseeing day-to-day operations of the firm, managing the growing team, and consulting with clients – individually, and in partnership with Brian LaRoche.   A fully licensed advisor, April brings over 16 years of industry experience to bear as she develops clients’ plans and helps them through the financial planning process.

April’s detailed technical knowledge of investments is of great value. She researches different investment scenarios and creates strategies, proposals and presentations. Her prior experience working at American Funds, one of the nation’s oldest and largest mutual fund providers, gave her the strong industry knowledge she brings to work today. Also at American Funds, April trained new associates and managers on technical fundamentals, communication skills, critical thinking, and client service.

What April appreciates most about her role as a financial advisor is the opportunity to make a difference in clients’ lives. In turn, clients value her competence, organizational ability, attention to detail, ‘get it done’ attitude, and work ethic. As a result of her intent focus on client relationships, clients regard April as a key member of their advisory team. “I’m driven by deep personal satisfaction from taking care of people,” April explains.

April is dedicated to her family, with whom she spends as much time as possible outside of work. When she is not tending to her loved ones, you can find her wandering the aisles of her favorite store, Target. She resides in Virginia Beach with her husband, Steve, and their two children.

BRIAN LAROCHE, RICP®, ChFEBC ℠

President and Financial Advisor, LaRoche Wealth Management

757-498-1911

brian@larochewealth.com

Those who know Brian LaRoche appreciate both his love for education and his desire to help others. Brians intense focus, deeply analytical mind, and commitment to the well-being of his clients are well suited to his career choice as a financial planner. Through education, Brian seeks to replace clients apprehension about the future with knowledge, translate that knowledge into action, and thereby help them take control of their future.

Brian entered the financial services industry in 1993 after obtaining a degree in Finance from Virginia Tech. He started out with Combined Insurance Company of America, founded by the great American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and thought leader, W. Clement Stone. Intelligent, driven, and a hard worker, Brian sought the guidance of valuable mentors whose success he could model. Following their lead, he quickly rose to the top of his profession winning numerous accolades for his achievements.

Throughout his journey across the rapidly changing financial services landscape, Brian would repeatedly be faced with clients who were unsure about the impact of their current decisions on future outcomes. This only served to strengthen his resolve to perfect a rigorous financial planning methodology that would deliver true value through education.

He was his own very first client and then, just to be sure, he put his parents through his process. More than a decade later, time has validated his meticulous approach. The result: a successful financial services practice which continues to grow mostly through the referrals it garners from a comprehensive educational process, incisive insights, and unparalleled commitment to customer service. Consumers have more access to information than ever, he says, and my role is not to sell, but rather to educate them so that they can make informed buying decisions.

Outside of work, Brian can be found on his boat surrounded by family and friends, playing golf at Broad Bay Country Club, and actively supporting Toby's Dream Foundation and Roc Solid Foundation.

A native of Virginia Beach, Brian continues to reside there with his loved ones; Suzanne and his daughter.

Corey Jones

Financial Advisor

757-648-0614

corey.jones@ffgadvisors.com

I became a Financial Advisor so I could help individuals and businesses do everything in their power never to suffer financial failure. My main goal is to eliminate the worries and stress of “what could derail my success?” in my clients' lives, and help guide them toward a better financial future.

Prior to joining First Financial Group, I worked in business accounting and finance. I gained practical, firsthand experience in how overwhelming it can be to operate a business, and how intertwined your business finances are with your personal finances. Using this knowledge, I help individuals create a cohesive network to ensure their individual and business finances work toward the same goals. Going beyond personal success, I also help in areas like maximizing employee benefits, tax and risk mitigation, executive benefits, retirement plans, income protection, key person strategy, and much more to help achieve your goals.

My home is Virginia Beach, where my family has been for several generations. They have owned a local business for the last fifty years, so I know all too well the trials and tribulations that come with owning a business. Outside of the office, I love to spend time outdoors, so you will most likely find me playing golf, fishing, hunting, or enjoying time with friends. I am an active member in the Old Dominion University and Cape Henry Collegiate Alumni Associations, where I enjoy giving back to those communities. I am an active member of London Bridge Baptist Church, and several volunteer organizations in the area.

I have strategic partnerships with several attorneys, CPAs, and other professionals in the financial space to help you with whatever you may need!

The most important factor of cultivating these long term relationships is building trust through consistency and reliability.
