Craig Perkins
I graduated from the University of Southern California, and shortly after, I embarked on an exciting journey as a professional baseball player, a career that spanned eight incredible years. Following my time on the field, I transitioned into the financial services industry with Connecticut General in Denver. It was there that I found my stride, eventually becoming the investment sales manager responsible for overseeing 30 agents across the front range.
After dedicating 20 years to Connecticut General, I decided it was time to venture out on my own. I initially joined forces with MCL Financial, but my entrepreneurial spirit led me to establish my own Registered Investment Advisory practice, CDP Financial Group, in 2011. This decision marked a significant turning point in my career and allowed me to focus on what I truly love: portfolio design and the evaluation and critique of mutual funds and ETFs.
My dedication to the field has not gone unnoticed. I've been honored to receive the prestigious 5-star wealth manager award seven out of the last ten years, and my work has been featured in 5280 and Colorado Biz magazines. Over the years, I also earned my CFP and ChFC designations, further solidifying my experience in the industry.
For me, building relationships is as important as building portfolios. My mission is to continue earning my clients' trust every day, establishing that they feel secure and confident in their financial futures. Outside of work, I cherish my downtime, often found on the golf course, exploring new travel destinations, or diving into a good book.
