Reed McCoy CFP®, CRPS®

Reed McCoy thinks of himself as a teacher, as well as a student who never stops learning. After earning his BA in both Spanish and Business Management at the University of Minnesota, Reed served with Teach for America, taught grade school at AXL Academy in Aurora and SOAR Academy in Green Valley Ranch, and advocated for education reform in low-income communities. He transitioned to educating adults about how to plan for retirement, first at CAPTRUST in Denver and, since 2017, at GHPIA. Born in Milwaukee, Reed found in his own educational journey the inspiration to give back to others. He understands how emotional money-related decisions are, and he likes helping clients address their own emotional issues surrounding their finances, helping them find solutions, and explaining those solutions in easily digestible ways. An expert on the retirement industry, he’s furthered his own financial education by earning the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Chartered Retirement Plans Specialist (CRPS®) designations, as well as the Series 65 securities license for investment advisors. Reed came to Colorado because, he says, the mountains were calling. He’s an avid rock climber, backcountry snowboarder, and mountain biker, pursuits that have cultivated the discipline, attention to detail, and grit that also inform his work at GHPIA. He enjoys listening to podcasts and meeting with the book club he’s belonged to for a decade.
