Chris Janda

Chris Janda, the founder of Inspire Finance DSM, has always been driven by a deep frustration with the financial advisory industry. “I hate my industry, but I love what I do,” he often says, reflecting on the countless advisors who prioritize product sales over genuine client care. Chris set out to build a firm that puts people first, focusing on education and habit-building to create lasting financial change. With years of experience, he’s committed to ensuring every client receives a written, easy-to-follow plan—something far too rare in the industry. Chris’s vision is to guide clients with clarity and care, following up consistently to help them achieve their goals, not just at the outset but throughout their journey.

Aaron Plaskas

Aaron Plaskas, Co-Owner and a vital part of Inspire Finance DSM, shares Chris’s passion for challenging the norms of traditional financial advising. Aaron has dedicated his career to empowering clients through education, ensuring they understand every step of their financial plan. He believes that a good advisor doesn’t just forecast a future based on assumptions—they partner with clients to build one through intentional, well-informed decisions. Aaron’s commitment to accessibility means clients always have the tools and support they need, from personalized plans to round-the-clock access to their financial dashboard. Together, he and Chris are on a mission to replace outdated practices with a client-centered approach that fosters success through understanding and accountability.

No pressure. Just smart guidance.

Let’s build a financial plan that makes sense — and keeps your family secure.
