The Financial Services Network Welcomes Jeff Huff & Associates


Christopher Mercado, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Strategist said he was delighted to welcome both Huff and Miller aboard. “We’re excited to add this dynamic team to our Network of advisors,” he said.

The Financial Services Network is excited to announce that Jeff Huff and Robin Miller, CFP from Jeff Huff & Associates have joined The Network’s group of advisors. Jeff Huff & Associates is an independent financial planning firm based in Tacoma, Washington.

Founder Jeff Huff has been a part of LPL Financial for three years but started in financial services three decades ago. With a degree in Economics and business, Huff said it was an easy evolution—but he’d first had his eyes trained on getting into a different industry: “My dad was a pilot for a major airline, and I loved flying around the world for free,” Huff said. “At first I thought I could become an aircraft salesman to the airlines.” He chuckled. “I realized quickly that you needed an engineering degree to sell aircrafts, so I landed a job selling 403b plans to teachers. It was a much better fit.” Thirty years later, many of those retired teachers are still his clients. “You develop relationships with people,” he says. As a testament to their trust, he notes that during the COVID crisis he didn’t receive a single panicked phone call. “My clients know if they need something, I’m here for them.”

Robin Miller met Huff seven years ago when she was still in operations for a different office at LPL. Their circles kept overlapping, and finally, Miller joined Huff’s team at the beginning of 2019. Though she started in an administrative support role, her contribution to the firm and impact to clients clearly chartered a course towards a future in wealth management. “It just was announced that my new role and title of ‘LPL Financial Planner’ was approved,” she shared. When asked if there is a certain clientele base she gravitates towards, Miller said, “Younger women—I like to educate and work with busy moms like me.” Ultimately, though, she says she enjoys working with all their clients and is excited to help their practice continue to grow.

Both Huff and Miller said they were excited to work with The Network because of the feeling of connection and community. “We like the fact that we have an ear we can bend—we’ve got someone looking out for us,” Huff said. Miller added, “It makes your circle smaller.” Christopher Mercado, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Strategist said he was delighted to welcome both Huff and Miller aboard. “We’re excited to add this dynamic team to our Network of advisors,” he said. “With Robin’s new role within the firm, we are proud to help support the next generation of female CFP Practitioners in the industry. And coupled with Jeff’s leadership and guidance, the possibilities for the continued success of the firm are inspiring.”

The Financial Services Network (The Network) http://www.fsnweb.com, is a national enterprise office (OSJ) and multi-custodial hybrid RIA with over $17B under advisement across the organization. Assets are custodied at their affiliated broker/dealer – LPL Financial, and/or their custodial partners, including LPL Financial, Schwab, Fidelity, and TD Ameritrade.

The consultants of The Financial Services Network are registered representatives with, and securities are offered through, LPL Financial, member FINRA/SIPC.

Securities and Advisory services offered through LPL Financial, a registered investment advisor. Member FINRA / SIPC.

Jeff Huff & Associates, The Financial Services Network and LPL Financial are separate entities.

*Based on prior business and represents assets that would have been custodied at LPL Financial, rather than third-party custodians. Reported assets and client numbers have not been independently and fully verified by LPL Financial.

Kalepa named a Cool Vendor in the May 2020 Gartner Cool Vendors in Insurance report


We are committed to delivering on the promise of AI to power commercial insurers in their pursuit of a fast-growing, profitable book. – Paul Monasterio, Kalepa

Kalepa, the pioneering commercial insurance underwriting software company combining Artificial and Human Intelligence, announced today that it has been named a Cool Vendor by Gartner, Inc. The 2020 report titled Cool Vendors in Insurance recognizes interesting, new and innovative vendors, products and services in the insurance market. Kalepa is one of five companies recognized by Gartner in the report.

According to the report from Gartner, “The commercial P&C insurance market has not transformed core business processes, such as underwriting, believing they were overly complex and that technology was not the answer. While a few vendors have launched offerings to improve workflow and analytics for P&C underwriters, these solutions failed to support both automated and human-based underwriting decision making and apply learning principles.”

“I am very proud of the Kalepa team for being recognized by Gartner, the world’s leading research and advisory company,” said Paul Monasterio, Co-Founder & CEO of Kalepa. “We are committed to delivering on the promise of AI to power commercial insurers in their pursuit of a fast-growing, profitable book. Kalepa’s team works tirelessly to serve our underwriter users who rely on Kalepa’s Underwriting Copilot to enhance their productivity and make increasingly informed risk selection decisions. Furthermore, we are pursuing a bold vision of enabling underwriters to 10X their performance and financial impact.”

“I congratulate Kalepa on being named a 2020 Cool Vendor by Gartner”, commented Mario Vitale, venerable insurance industry leader and former CEO of Aspen Insurance Group, Zurich Global Corporate and Willis North America. “In my opinion, Kalepa is uniquely positioned to transform the way commercial policies are underwritten, combining underwriter expertise with the power of big data and cutting-edge technology. Kalepa has done a terrific job relentlessly focusing on delivering measurable value for insurers and helping their customers win.” Paul Monasterio added: “we are thankful to Mario for his decades of leadership and vision in our industry and we are honored that he has agreed to join us in this mission as a member of Kalepa’s Advisory Board”.
