Managing Partner

Garret Hanson, CRPC®

My connection to Open Range began long before I officially joined the firm in 2016.  My father became a financial advisor a week before I was born.  Growing up I watched my dad and our firm’s founder, Kale Hanson, build a career around serving families and helping them make thoughtful financial decisions. An example that ultimately led me to follow a similar path.

I believe the strongest relationships with clients are built over time, and I take pride in helping ensure that Open Range remains a firm families can rely on across generations.

Outside the office I enjoy spending time with my wife, Lauren and our daughter, Margaret.  I can often be found outdoors on my mountain bike.
