Tell us about your career experiences and what led you to DVI:

I learned in college that I was passionate about building relationships and helping clients identify and reach their financial goals at all stages of their lives. I was drawn to DVI because of the firm’s commitment to the providing highest level of client service and maintaining long-term client relationships. DVI Associates collaborate with each other and work toward one common goal—to take excellent care of our clients. 

What values drive your personal and professional lives?

I believe in being honest and in seeking ways to improve and evolve as a person and in my work. I hold myself to always doing the right thing and showing kindness to others. 

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I live in the Winter Gardens area and enjoy trying new local restaurants—the continued growth of this area has been incredible. I’m also an avid sports fan and watch football, baseball, and basketball, and I stay active by training in a variety of martial arts.

There’s a Team Behind Every DVI Team Member

DVI is not one person. Our clients come to understand that although they may interact with particular team members more than others, there is a multi-disciplinary team of professionals hard at work for them, collaborating each and every day on their behalf.

Fiduciary from the Start

Our founder, David Vaughan, created DVI over 45 years ago with an instinctive fiduciary mindset. He wanted to help his neighbors and community members grow and protect the financial success they had achieved in their lives. By building trust, he built a business that has grown in size and services. Today, we carry David's legacy forward with more comprehensive offerings to serve the ever-changing needs of our clients in Central IL and Central FL.
