Dairel L. Denton, Jr. entered the financial industry over 38 years ago.  He prides himself on working diligently for every client that walks through his doors.  Dairel understands that no two clients are the same and each one has their own hardships to overcome and goals to achieve.  He believes that the biggest gift he can receive as a financial planner is for a client to reach their goal.  For instance, no words can describe the joy Dairel feels when a client is able to send their child off to college without any worries or the phone call he receives when a client is able to retire.    

Dairel has one simple goal in mind, which is helping clients achieve their financial goals and live the life they always dreamt about.  Dairel helps navigate clients through the world of personal finance working with them, side-by-side, to pursue their financial objective. 

Dairel is married to Genise and together they reside in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.  They have two children, Melissa and Meredith.  Dairel loves to spend his free time traveling to new places, reading, snorkeling and being with his family.
