About Kathy Crager
My family has called Northeastern Indiana home for most of my life. My husband, Brian, and I have been married for 28 years, and together we’ve raised two wonderful children, welcomed a son-in-law, and now enjoy the joy and energy of two grandsons.
We’re happiest outdoors — whether we’re camping, four-wheeling, dirt-bike riding with our kids, or heading out on our next travel adventure.
I’m passionate about helping people pursue their financial goals. No matter your age or your starting point, it’s never too early — and never too late — to begin building your dream financial house.
