Craig Johlfs, CFP®, AAMS®, AWMA®, CMFC®
President
I started my practice from scratch at the start of 2007. I identified with Waddell & Reed’s client-centric approach to financial planning. From those humble beginnings to now, there have been a lot of changes in the market, the finance industry, and our practice. What hasn’t changed is our dedication to our clients, their financial plans, and their money – a stewardship that we take very seriously. I’m humbled to work with such great clients and colleagues every day. At the moment, I’m having a lot of fun toggling between being a CFP® practitioner, a business owner, and an investor. When I’m not engaged in business, I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, and pursuing lifelong hobbies.
Fun fact: I lived abroad in Tokyo, Seoul, Australia and Costa Rica.

Cybercrime and Identity Theft Prevention
Hoodlums to Hackers: How Criminals Get Your Information and What You Can Do to Stop Them
The main focus of this non-technical presentation is on how prevent the most recent threats involving identity theft, cyber fraud, social networking scams, tax refund fraud and payment fraud. It is one of the most popular presentations for wealth advisor client events because it answers many questions that advisors receive from their clients. The audience will be informed, inspired to take action and entertained at the same time. Fraud is a serious topic, but as with all of Jeff’s presentations, it incorporates humor to engage the audience and help them remember key learning points.
