Cristina Stevens, AIF®
Founder

Cristina is a Colorado Springs native with strong roots in the community she thrives in. She and husband, John, live to work, play, and enjoy life! They have six children combined and their family is growing every year with more grandchildren to love. With family as the foundation in her life, Cristina transitioned into a financial representative position, after dedicating her early years to being a devoted wife and mother.

Since joining the insurance and securities profession in 1995, she takes pride in bringing a feminine touch to a male dominated field. She has sat in every seat in the financial advisors office and knows the importance of every team member, from receptionist to the financial representative. Cristina joined the Parkland Securities, LLC family in 2012 and opened the OP branch office in March 2022.

Cristina is enjoying success as a financial representative, life insurance agent, and an Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®). She holds financial registrations and an insurance producer license in her home state of Colorado, as well as in several other states. Cristina’s primary focus is a comprehensive holistic approach that addresses the needs of her clients on a personal level.

When she’s not diligently taking care of her client’s, Cristina spent many years cheering on her children, both on and off the court/field. In their down time, Cristina & John enjoy spending time with their family, attending concerts, local music, traveling, skiing, boating, camping, games and quiet time at their old ranch property on the eastern plains.
