Ahmad Kashani, MPA

Ahmad came to the U.S. from Tehran, Iran, as a young man to further his education. He was raised in a family with strong entrepreneurial roots and values, which he carried with him. He also has a strong sense of integrity and empathy, which he believes is crucial to his work and life. Ahmad learned the values of honesty and caring about people from an uncle who was a prominent businessman. Growing up and seeing the immense struggles that can arise from family financial insecurity, Ahmad views his business to help alleviate financial burdens and positively impact people's lives. He has a firmly held belief that every process of life is entrenched in finances and legacy. Viewing the financial sector as a way of positively impacting people's lives, he realizes and cherishes that this is a rare business in which you can know and care for up to three generations of one family! It gives Ahmad a sense of fulfillment to set up college funds for his clients' children and attend their weddings years later. 

Ahmad has four decades of experience protecting and helping clients by providing financial services to families. He graduated from the School of Business and Public Administration at the University of Tehran in Iran while working as a corporate credit analyst at the National Bank of Iran. He continued his education at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, graduating with a master's in public administration and political science. 

In 1977, Ahmad joined MetLife. After 33 years with MetLife and being inducted into the MetLife Hall of Fame (the highest accolade awarded by the company), Ahmad retired in 2008. Ahmad decided to continue to serve clients as a registered financial advisor by starting his own firm. Ahmad's mission practice is simple: "Do your best every day, care about people, and be there when they need you." Due to his dedication to this mantra, Ahmad now works with third-generation clients. His son, Cameron, joined him in 2009 to grow the business and help more people. 

In his leisure time, Ahmad can be found at Innsbrook Country Club trying to beat Cameron in golf or spending time with his beloved granddaughters Amelia and Anna.
