you're 22, or even 50, you need to know that some- body is in your corner,” she said.
In March, they opened Agape Wealth after she spent several years working in the financial industry and
her husband spent two decades as a third-generation industrial worker with the chemical company DuPont.
“We both got saved at church and our faith has led us to feel like we needed to do this for the Lord,” she said. “In this industry, with a lot of companies, the bottom line is about their pockets and the company becomes more important than the client. For us, we opened Agape Wealth to do the opposite of that and to have a company that would really seek to have quality for our clients over quantity of clients.”
Clinton Ardis, COO at Agape Wealth said he’s excited about this new chapter in their lives. “I
worked in corporate America for 20 years and it’s not very family-oriented,” he said. “I’ve managed a lot of people and had a whole bunch of different managers that managed me.
I worked a lot of Christmases and a lot of other holidays. I missed a lot of events and it's nice owning your own company and having a balance between work and home life.”
The Agape Wealth team is rounded out by Chief Administra- tive Officer Sabrina Olszewski and Marketing and Engage- ment Coordinator Ali Kopper. And everyone goes above and beyond for their clients by making sure all aspects of their clients' finances are handled with care and detail.
“We are constantly doing things we don’t even get paid for,” Heidi Ardis said. “Whether it’s research or helping pick out furniture for a new house, we are there because it’s more than just being a financial adviser. It’s about being an advocate and a friend.”
