Tim Jensen
Financial Planner
Hello, my name is Tim, and I am married to my beautiful wife, Kelly. We have 5 children but only 3 of them reside with us because the older ones are living out of state and adulting. I guess you can say Izze is a part of the family too. She is 9 and a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. She brings so much joy to our children’s lives. I’m a native to Colorado and although I’ve traveled to many places and lived in other cities, Colorado just had my heart and I’m proud to call it home.
I could never do an introduction to myself and not mention sports. Basketball will always have my heart and of course I root for the home team but since moving to Arvada, I’ve developed other passions for Tennis and Pickle Ball. I play both regularly and I just feel that these are complete games, and activities that I can do well into my later years. Another passion of mine is coaching. I started my own tennis and pickle ball instructing business in 2021 and I love how with proper instruction you can set someone on a much better trajectory to achieving success and their desired goals.
This is just a small intro into me and the things that are important. I genuinely look forward to getting to know you and learning about your story.
TWO PASSIONS
I’d like to take a minute and express two of my passions: Tennis and Financial Planning. From my perspective I see many similarities between the two and I would like to emphasize a few of those to you. In the game of Tennis, the object is to get the ball over the net more times than your opponent. As for Financial Planning, you want to grow your assets and protect them at the same time. These concepts appear to be simple but it’s not easy. In Tennis, there are a compilation of different shots, speeds, mph, angles, strategy, endurance, touch, precision, power, and wits to out match your opponent. As for Financial Planning, there are a series of obstacles that can get thrown at you to derail you from your end goal. First there are markets, volatility, winners, losers, personal spending, health, how long you live, inflation, fees, data overload, and dealing with an untimely death or unexpected disability. In my experience, it is sage advice to work with a trained specialist in both disciplines.
One other component of this is problem solving. There are times in Tennis when you have a strategy, and you are playing to that but things are still not going in your favor. The same can be true with Financial Planning. As your coach, I am going to help you problem solve and figure out what needs to be done. This can require patience and perseverance. As you can witness, this is not the short game that is in play but the very long one. Let me help shape your journey.
