We’re excited to introduce the newest member of our team, Griffin Lewis, a proud University of Texas graduate (like two of his teammates here at HIG). In the past, we prioritized hiring by location. Today, we focus on finding the best possible person for the role: people whose values match our own. That’s true across the board, from full-time team members to interns. Though we differ in many ways, the qualities we share—being old souls, a connection to the outdoors, joy in serving others, and a deep commitment to our craft—make us, in short, a team of caring nerds.

Griffin embodies these traits fully. You will see him jumping in wherever he’s needed—whether that’s supporting service, trading, or operations—so that you experience seamless care from our entire team. His “utility player” mindset means he’s always looking for ways to make your life easier.

Shaped by a family that taught him resilience, inspired by a sister who set a high bar early on, and sharpened by experiences as both a behind-the-scenes problem solver and a door-knocking entrepreneur, Griffin brings both grit and heart to our work. Outside the office, you’ll likely find him logging long runs or cycling laps around Lady Bird Lake, or chasing down sunrises and spontaneous adventures. 

We’re thrilled for you to get to know him. Are you a “caring nerd?” or do you know one? Check out our career opportunities here.

We’re thrilled to welcome Grace Kreifels to our team as a Lead Advisor! With a strong foundation in evidence-based investing, Grace brings invaluable experience from her eight years at Dimensional and prior tenure at Vanguard. As a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), her expertise and dedication to her craft will be a tremendous asset to our national client base. We look forward to seeing her make a lasting impact on our clients’ lives.

Beyond her professional strengths, Grace and her husband, Zach, recently welcomed their first child, a son named Riley—and parenthood has already been an incredible adventure for them. True to the spirit of many of our clients, Grace has a passion for the outdoors and enjoys hiking, backpacking, surfing, biking, skiing, and camping (they even took Riley on his first camping trip at just three months old!). As the daughter of a Delta pilot, Grace’s love for travel started young and has taken her to more than 30 countries, immersing her in diverse cultures and experiences.

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Grace!
