Rob Messett

Financial Advisor

Rob has been in the financial services business since 1997. Prior to entering the industry, while still in high school Rob founded and eventually sold a successful consumer sporting goods company.  While in college he worked for a Financial Planning firm called Kendall Financial and obtained his licenses as well as hands on education from one of his mentors Ken Kendall, CFP, CLU.  He then went on to run a prominent estate planning firm in Dallas called John Bledsoe Associates. As a specialist in helping high-net-worth individuals minimize or often eliminate estate taxes, Rob worked with hundreds of people. After spending several years concentrating on estate planning, in 2001 Rob decided to focus on a more comprehensive planning approach for a broader audience of individuals in both the accumulation and asset preservation stages of their lives and founded Messett Financial. Today, he helps families, business owners, and individuals improve their overall financial situation.

Rob particularly enjoys educating people and organizations about finance and has been a guest speaker for several organizations including the Internal Revenue Service Society of CPAs, UTD MBA Students, and DFW REIN (Real Estate Investor Network), to name a few.
