South Coast Metro, Calif. July 12, 2021: Golden State, an investment advisor registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is pleased to announce its expansion into New Mexico with the addition of Denise Herrell. After leaving Level Four Advisory Services, Ms. Herrell chose Golden State as her RIA for the flexible and efficient business strategies offered. Golden State allows their advisors to operate their businesses under the DBA of their choice, so location can be outside the California border without issue. Golden State’s alignment with LPL Financial simplified Ms. Herrell’s conversion to Golden State and allowed her to maintain the current business model she had in play and continue to provide her clients with the service they have come to value from her. Located in Ruidoso, and having learned early the value of a dollar, saving and that hard work, honesty and integrity do payoff, she focuses on retirement and estate planning with quality investments, planning and valuable time in the market.

“As we continue to grow our national footprint, we are excited about the addition of Denise Herrell our first firm in New Mexico. Denise comes to us with a diverse career history that transformed her into the financial advisor she is today and adds a wealth of experience to the Golden State team” says Daniel R. Catone, Founder and CEO of Golden State.
