DEREK SNYDER, CFP®, AAMS®, AIF®
Director of Wealth Services, AWG
Wealth Advisor, RJFS
Hi, I’m Derek, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional at Aspire Wealth Group. As the Director of Wealth Services, I collaborate with our Wealth Advisors to conduct product training, evaluate new planning strategies, and implement ongoing client service initiatives. I work closely with clients, taking great pride in helping them achieve their unique financial goals while building strong, lasting relationships founded on trust and mutual respect.
Integrity and hard work guide both my professional and personal decisions. Growing up in a farming family, I learned the importance of hard work early on, and it’s why I value every dollar entrusted to our team. My passion for this industry comes from a deep desire to help people achieve their goals and dreams, allowing them to focus on what truly matters in life.
I graduated from Messiah College in 2013 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a minor in Sports Management. I hold Series 7, 66, and Life, Accident, and Health Insurance Licenses, and I’ve earned the Accredited Asset Management Specialist and Accredited Investment Fiduciary designations.
Outside of the office, I enjoy engaging with the local Pittsburgh community. I’m actively involved with Urban Impact, coaching young players in their baseball program to help them grow both on and off the field. I also serve as a student
ministry leader at my local church. When I’m not volunteering, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors, always on the lookout for new hiking spots. I highly recommend Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, the highest peak in the Northeastern
United States.
