Nicole Riley, MBA

I was born and raised in Levelland, Texas, and earned my Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, followed by a Master of Business Administration from Texas Tech University.

I am deeply passionate about education and spent over a decade working in a college setting, helping young people realize their potential and achieve their academic goals. Today, as a licensed life and health insurance agent and Registered Representative of GWN Securities, Inc., I continue that mission by helping individuals and families pursue their financial and retirement goals with clarity and confidence.

In 2021, I was given the opportunity to expand my impact through financial education, which I believe is one of the most important subjects not adequately taught in schools. Through education and a clear plan of action, I strive to help clients build confidence in their financial decisions and create lasting change for future generations. My background in education allows me to simplify complex topics and bring understanding to areas many find overwhelming. I am licensed in life and health insurance and hold securities and variable annuity registrations.

I believe effective retirement planning requires a holistic approach that considers debt management, wealth accumulation, insurance needs, healthcare planning, and personal goals. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, which is why I focus on creating customized strategies, within the scope of services offered, tailored to each client’s unique situation. My goal is not only to help clients prepare for the future, but to feel genuinely excited about it.

I work with individuals, families, and business owners from a wide range of backgrounds, and I enjoy the opportunity to navigate new challenges and develop thoughtful solutions. By partnering with financial services firms, I offer strategies intended to help clients pursue their financial goals and support the life they envision.

Outside of my professional work, my husband Kurt and I enjoy spending time outdoors in Southeast Texas with our family. Along with my two children, we take every opportunity to hunt, fish, and explore the natural beauty of the area. We are actively involved in our local church, where we are passionate about fellowship and mentoring the next generation.
