Our Team

Jason joined AIS Planning in June of 2001 to build a career as a Financial Planner and had a well-suited, non-negotiable requirement: to be empowered to serve the best interests of clients on a fixed salary, so to avoid any incentive to “sell”.  Jason believed that success could be achieved by focusing on doing the right thing by each client, and in the process, build long-term, meaningful relationships with people as he serves them throughout their financial-life journey.  In 2003, he satisfied the education, examination, experience, and ethics requirements to be recognized as a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and two decades later, his vision, commitment, and passion has not waivered.

He is our senior planner…and by “senior,” we mean the one with the most gray hair. He is also our visionary. Most new AIS initiatives and processes are fueled by his innate ability to identify and understand relationships among issues, systems, and people. He is relentless in his quest to identify the best possible solutions for our clients and refuses to make recommendations unless confident they're the right ones.

Jason is married to Ann, a true “free spirit” and the life of any party. Together, they have proudly raised three talented and motivated children (Ally, Cameron, and Ryan).  When not serving at AIS Planning, Jason is actively serving within his church and the community, or recharging at the family cabin.

Nathan Goebel is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) with a contagious laugh, vibrant personality, and a genuine passion for deeply knowing and helping people achieve their personal and financial goals. Prior to joining AIS Planning, Nathan accumulated a variety of experience in insurance, compliance, wealth management and financial planning, but longed for an environment suited to support his hunger for knowledge, drive to serve others and passion for building long-term relationships…all of which are being fulfilled in his current role.  Nathan is driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the lives of clients and exemplifies what it looks like to have the “heart of a servant”.

Outside of work, Nathan's love for life shines through. He is happily married to his high school sweetheart, Brittney, who has been his constant source of support and inspiration. Together, they enjoy traveling to new destinations (and collecting associated Christmas ornaments), gathering with friends and family, spending time with their dog, Auggie, and planning for the arrival of their first child in September 2023.

Chris grew up in the state of Virginia and graduated from Virginia Tech's financial planning program, then quickly passed the rigorous test to earn his CFP® designation.  With that under his belt, he conducted a nationwide search for a firm that seemed like the best fit for him to learn and grow in financial planning and determined AIS Planning “checked all the boxes” in what he was looking for.  Chris joined AIS Planning in 2019 and quickly created value within the organization and in client relationships through his attentiveness to client service, technical and deliberative approach to financial planning, and by applying his analytical skills within our investment committee. 

In his free time, Chris enjoys pursuing opportunities to engage the community, channeling his inner Eagle Scout by being outdoors, pondering on the idea of owning a cat one day, and creatively trying or concocting new recipes in the kitchen.

Tami joined AIS Planning in January 2022 and quickly demonstrated her uncanny ability to learn and add value by identifying and implementing operational efficiencies in processes and client service. Driven by her innate sense of responsibility, and passionate “can do” attitude, she provides dependable support to our personal planning and wealth management division. Tami doesn't see obstacles, she simply seeks ways to serve, support, execute and go above and beyond for the good of the team and our clients.  Tami is our “go to” first-responder whenever there are operational needs associated with our efforts to serve clients.

When not excelling at AIS Planning, Tami enjoys serving within her church, reading, knitting, and spending time camping, kayaking and hiking with her husband Nathan and their miniature schnauzer Emmy.  Tami and Nathan are parents to Makayla (a residential designer and drafter) and Josie (currently attending ministry college).

Inspired by his faith and love for serving others, Miguel joined AIS Planning in May 2023 as our Operations Manager. 

Prior to joining AIS Planning, Miguel spent almost a decade being promoted through the ranks as he sought out and succeeded in overcoming new challenges while working at a Fortune 100 company.  He now brings his enthusiasm, passion for service, and experience in finance, operations and leadership to further strengthen our team.

Miguel’s passion for service extends well-beyond his work, demonstrated by his engagement with Central Minnesota Youth for Christ, coaching basketball at St. Cloud Christian School and serving at their home church.

Miguel met his wife, Breana, while attending St. Cloud State University.  Sharing a love and passion for sports and their faith, their friendship blossomed.  Their love has expanded to now parenting two daughters and their dog.  They keep family-time a priority by intentional routine vacations and weekly adventures that often include kayaking, fishing, biking, and whatever opportunity inspires them.
