We grew our team this year, gaining talent to elevate our work and build out our areas of expertise. Our team has over 120 years of combined experience in the financial advisory business. We learn from one another, lean on one another, laugh together and are deeply connected to our common goal – serving our clients.

My daughter attended Incarnate Word Academy, a private high school with an exceptional leadership program, led by an inspiring teacher – Charles Kafoglis. The Young Leaders Program has an innovative curriculum and is one just a few high schools to offer students a concentration in leadership studies. I’ve witnessed the positive impact Charles and his program had on my daughter. I told the HIG team about the courses offered at the school and the personal finance module caught the attention of our fearless leader – Matt Hall. An introduction to Charles was inevitable and followed with an invitation for Matt to speak at the school’s “Leadership Live!” speaker series.

The students, Charles and Matt worked together to come up with a fun, student-led Q & A with the goal of energizing and inspiring these young women to change the way they think and feel about money. Matt took the stage in early November and engaged a packed auditorium with thought-provoking concepts around money, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

Matt encouraged the 9th through 12th graders to take control of their financial futures by saving early, understanding the value of compounding and using money wisely. When the 3:25 PM dismissal bell rang, signaling the end of Matt’s interview and the end of the school day, many students didn’t run out the door, but instead swarmed Matt to ask questions and receive copies of Matt’s book, Odds On. If Matt had hoped to reach only a few students that day, I’d say he more than accomplished the goal.

Please join us in welcoming Matt Luzecky as Client Service Associate.

A client once told us that finding people is like finding art. Only acquire art if you would knock down a wall to get it in the house. Said differently, look only for great art. We’re happy to report that Matt meets this high standard, as he is kind, hard-working, curious, and dedicated to our mission at Hill Investment Group.

Matt comes to us after working at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. He uses his client service and operations experience to create a smooth service journey for clients, allowing them to filter out the everyday noise and focus on high-value activities. Learn more about Matt here.
