Justin Bates
Financial Advisor - Strategic Financial Concepts, Inc.
“The world is a better place when wealth is in the hands of good people ... and those that live the Western lifestyle are some of the best people on the planet.”
Justin grew up in the small town of Kingston, Arkansas before moving to Branson, Missouri to attend College of the Ozarks where he earned a degree in Agriculture Business. His love for the people and the land made it his home, vowing to ‘never leave the Ozarks.’ Growing up competing rodeo created a love for the sport that never went away. When the opportunity to work with pro rodeo athletes was presented, it was an easy decision. ‘My work is my passion, and now I am able to bring that to the sport that I love. It’s a dream come true.’
Justin wanted to make a significant impact on the lives of those he cared about. Beginning his career in the financial services industry provided the opportunity to bring real change to his community. He spent several years with brand-name firms, but none met his goal of finding ‘a company that did business the way I felt it should be done.’ That all changed when he found Strategic Financial Concepts, Inc. Justin is a member of Grace Community Assembly in Branson along with his wife, Heather, and their two daughters. In his spare time, Justin loves spending time with his family, golfing, and hunting. Justin is registered for securities and licensed to sell insurance in Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana, and Tennessee.
