Katie Ackerman is an essential player on our team and just earned a promotion! Hear from Katie in this short video, and then celebrate with us as we announce her new role as Client Service Administrator. Starting in May, Katie will transition to our client service team. It’s a natural fit since she has been consistently available to help with our client’s needs since she joined Hill Investment Group in 2015. You may not hear Katie’s voice on the phone as often, but her time and energy will be more focused on serving you than ever before!

Katie has come a long way since this photo was taken in 2015.

Recently, Matt Hall and I had an opportunity to go to Big Sky Montana with Focus Financial to connect with other independent wealth advisors. The photo above feels a little like our Hill logo and few places feel more “long view” than Big Sky. While in Montana we shared ideas and fellowship with fiduciary advisors like HIG, and Matt even won a best-dressed contest for his ski outfit (though I never saw him on the slopes because he spent most of his time on a green run called The Pacifier:). Check out our Instagram for more.

Walter “Buddy” Reisinger may just be one of the most interesting people at Hill Investment Group. His family has deep roots in the iconic beer company Anheuser-Busch. Buddy worked at the brewery after graduating from Princeton, and then UCLA for his MBA. His late mother created the famous Vivienne salad dressing which was bottled and sold coast to coast. Buddy had a beloved pet potbelly pig, his go-to karaoke song is “Come Sail Away,” and he secretly wishes he could be a DJ on a classic rock radio station. All that and he’s crazy smart with a kind heart. You’ll see a bit of that here in his video where he talks about what got him to become a fiduciary advisor and what keeps him here serving you. Enjoy.

Please also join us in congratulating Buddy on his first hole in one he sank this month!
