SAN DIEGO, Nov. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  announced today that financial advisor Blake Mier, CFP® of Mier Financial has joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms.

Based in Bloomington, Ill., Mier has developed a reputation over his 25 year career as an advisor focused on developing personal, long-term relationships with his clients and identifying investment strategies to help meet their aspirational goals.

“The best part of my job is getting to know my clients and their financial hopes, goals and fears, and then working with them to put together a financial plan that addresses all of those things,” Mier said. “Most of my clients have been with me for years, and many of them are multi-generational. I am very proud of the relationships I have built during my career, and am honored that my clients trust me with this extremely important part of their lives.”

I am confident that making this move to LPL was the right decision for my clients and for my business.”

Scott Posner, LPL Executive Vice President, Business Strategy & Growth said, “We welcome Blake and Katie to the LPL community and applaud their commitment to forging long-term relationships with their clients.
