Before founding LX Parker I served as a wealth manager and private banker at some of the top firms in the industry including: Silicon Valley Bank, Bank of America, USAA, and Ameriprise Financial. I also worked for $300B+ asset management firm, Dimensional Fund Advisors, where I was mentored by the co-CEO. As a CFP® professional, I am required to complete rigorous testing, experience, ethics and continuing education requirements covering investments, retirement, insurance, tax and estate planning. I am bound by the CFP Board's Code of Ethics and am required to put client's interest ahead of my own at all times. I graduated cum laude from Lehigh University at age 20 while pursuing a double major in Finance and Marketing and a double minor in Entrepreneurship and Music Business. I earned my MBA from the University of Texas at Austin where I received the Dean's Leadership Award and was the Inaugural Texas Venture Labs Scholar. On the weekend I recharge my batteries in East Texas at LX Parker Ranch where we use regenerative farming practices to sustainably grow organic hay and grass fed beef on the very land where my ancestors were once enslaved. If I'm not at the ranch, then I'm at church playing the piano for Sunday service.' I met my wife, Christy, at a church summer camp when we were 12 years old. I had a crush on her and she didn't like me. Fast forward, we have been married for over 13 years. We have three wonderful sons Logan (5), Xavier (2) and Parker (infant). LX Parker... See what I did there ;-). If you made it this far you should go ahead and schedule a complimentary consultation.
In 2022 Business Insider rated our founder, Courtney Leffall, as one of the Top 7 Private Bankers in America Under 40. In 2023 when his prior firm, Silicon Valley Bank, collapsed he recognized that the best way to protect and serve clients going forward was to launch independent firm, LX Parker Wealth Management. We are an independently owned and operated boutique wealth management firm dedicated to helping our clients retire early and successfully through sound investment management and comprehensive financial planning.

Doug Gibson has helped countless individuals and business owners navigate the many challenges investors face daily. His philosophy is simple, have a plan, and play it S.A.F.E. The S.A.F.E investment philosophy is simple, the market is unpredictable but by having a disciplined approach and focusing on the factors we CAN control, we can significantly improve the ability for clients to achieve their goals. Those factors are Strategy, Allocation, Fees, and Expenses. Adhering to this philosophy along with a tax centric, comprehensive financial plan, his clients have total transparency, and a vital understanding of their financial objectives. By putting the needs of his clients first and using the S.A.F.E investing philosophy he pioneered, his clients not only understand the implications of financial decisions but can make the ones that will have a positive impact on their financial future.
SMART Group Houston is not your ordinary Financial Services firm. Most firms are transactional, focusing strictly on the accumulation of assets using arbitrary risk/reward criteria to select financial products. In our experience taking on additional risk will not necessarily yield greater returns. We approach our clients finances from a broader perspective. We focus not just on accumulating wealth but protecting it as well. We focus not just on your immediate needs, but how each piece fits in within your entire financial strategy. Our approach enables us to identify opportunities that other firms may, and usually do, overlook. We look for ways to make your money work harder for you in ways that you might never have imagined. We have found that many common investment strategies seriously underestimate the challenges facing you as you transition into other phases of your financial journey. Ultimately, we strive to give each client the opportunity to spend less time worrying about their portfolio and wondering whether your money will be enough to give you the financial freedom you expect. We do this, not through unrealistically optimistic and risky investments, but through a comprehensive strategy that outlines the ideal path to your financial success. In our view, taxes remain one of the biggest risks to wealth creation and accumulation. Every dollar is taxed in 4 ways, when you EARN it, when you GROW it, when you SPEND it, and when you PASS AWAY. At SMART Group, we won't file last years tax returns, but we will do your FUTURE tax returns by providing you with custom strategies designed to help you save taxes in each of the 4 phases of taxation. Our team of licensed CFP's and CPA's will help guide you throughout each step of your financial journey.

Jerry serves as an investment advisor at Beck Capital Management (BCM), guiding his clients to their appropriate portfolio type, as well as providing a financial plan that will keep them on track to meet their goals. Jerry joined Frank Beck and his predecessor company, Capital Financial Group, in 1997. Prior to joining Frank, he spent 11 years in the financial services industry. First, managing his own insurance agency, and then as the Area Director of the city of Austins Deferred Compensation Plan. The transition to BCM allowed him to continue serving his client base by shifting the focus to their post-retirement investment and planning needs. At BCM, we employ an investment philosophy based on Sector Rotation, a strategy that allows us to focus on specific industries while avoiding the sectors of the market that are out of favor. This stands in direct contrast to the cookie-cutter approach of investing in a basket of mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The portfolios at BCM are custom-tailored to the individual and are aligned with their specific tolerances to risk and volatility. All investment decisions are made in-house, which avoids the typical layering of investment fees. There is no doubt that next to marrying his lovely bride of 23 years, Janet, this was easily the best decision he ever made. Besides spending time with Janet and his five grandchildren, Jerry loves exploring the Austin culinary scene and a good round of golf when he can fit one in.

Michelle Vargas, Certified Financial Planner™ is the President of Waymaker Financial Planning, a Fee-Only planning and investment management firm in Fort Worth, Texas. She focuses on helping Christian women make smart money decisions, especially those in transition to retirement, widowhood, and managing wealth for the first time. Her goal is to help all clients successfully navigate their financial life so that they will be worry free and spend more time doing what they love. After earning a degree in Finance from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 1990, she moved to Orlando, Florida and started her career with Harcourt Brace Publishing. Her journey into personal finance began when she enrolled in her 401K and wanted to learn about additional options to plan for retirement. Not many advisors were willing to help her with her 401K choices, and none offered a written financial plan. In 1994 she left Harcourt Brace Publishing and became licensed to work as a Financial Advisor. In 1998, she completed the rigorous education and experience requirements to become a CFP. With over 9 years of professional experience as a financial advisor, she daily strives to make the complex simple when advising clients. She often remembers what the experience was like when she was young and looking for an advisor. This memory enables her to be sensitive and patient in all of her interactions. Education is also an important component of her practice, and she has been quoted by CBS News, Yahoo Finance, and MSN. She and her husband live in Fort Worth, and they have an amazing son Andrew.

We're here to help you achieve your financial goals, manage your money and ultimately, better your life. Unlike many other investment firms that use a cookie-cutter financial plan for all their investors, we apply our Purpose-Based Asset Management approach. By creating separate compartments for each investor's multiple purposes, we create a structure that allows for a prudent, less emotional investment decision-making process. We believe that markets are efficient and investment returns are determined by asset allocation and the passage of time, not by manager selection or market timing. We are focused on your security and work tirelessly toward one goal: help you achieve financial peace of mind. As a boutique money management firm, we offer you a service that is personal, private and exclusive. We know you can go many places for financial advice, but the clients of Disciplined Advisors Group benefit from the more than six decades of investment experience in which we are backed. As an independent advisory group, our advice is not influenced by a corporate parent and we are free to choose the right solutions for you. At Disciplined Advisors Group - trust, commitment and caring make up the foundation that provides services to our clients.
