Every year, many of us say, “I’m going to get my financial house in order.” When is the last time you actually did a thorough review of your investments? Are you on track to reach your goals?

Many of the big financial firms spend big advertising dollars so you know their name. However, most are located on Indy’s north side or downtown. That makes setting up an investment review meeting time-consuming, inconvenient and frankly a bit overwhelming for area residents. Until now because Hilliard Lyons now has a financial professional who resides in Center Grove.

Bryan Epperson, who received his Certified Investment Management Analyst® Certification from the Wharton School (CIMA), spent years at the “well-known firms” where he learned there is more to financial services than name recognition. He knows that personal local service is key. He now focuses on personal financial services for southern metro area residents and his neighbors in Center Grove.

Epperson joined Hilliard Lyons in Franklin in 2014.

He soon realized Hilliard Lyons is not a household name. It wasn’t long before a prospective client said, “I can’t seem to find anything about Mr. Hilliard or Mr. Lyons,” thinking that it was just a small local firm. In fact, Hilliard Lyons, based in Louisville, Kentucky, has helped clients pursue their goals for more than 160 years.

help.” He offers his services to everyone, young professionals, those nearing retirement and the business owner looking for help with succession planning. Hilliard Lyons provides the tools, resources and experience to help improve retirement or investment situations.

Snyder, Epperson and Hilliard Lyons have insights and ideas to help you move from where you are to where you want to go for funding education, retirement and general estate planning. Bryan added, “Unlike some financial services companies, we aren’t mandated to sell specific products. We create individualized, comprehensive financial plans unique to that client.”

“97.7% of respondents stated they were likely to continue investing with Hilliard Lyons," according to a Second Quarter 2015 Client Satisfaction Survey.

Epperson says, “Our team has worked with four generations of Franklin and Johnson County residents.

I look forward to bringing personal service to current and future generations of Center Grove residents.”

ne of the nation’s oldest top Christian universities, Olivet Nazarene University (ONU) has opened its first site on the northside of Indianapolis. Their 17,000 square-foot building offers on-site classrooms and lab rooms that accommodate 15-20 students and houses eight full-time staff members.

provides value that is seldom equaled in today’s education market.

ONU’s programs build on the students’ experiences and education. The university has strived to provide education with a Christian purpose since 1907. With more than 30 programs offered online and in over 100 different locations throughout Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, the School of Graduate

and Continuing Studies offers programs that “meet you where you are.”

“This is the first out-of-state site for Olivet,” stated Carrie Dilley, Executive Director of Marketing and Communications. “Our main campus was established and is located in Bourbonnais, Illinois. We have since opened sites in Michigan as well.

“In addition to our academic programs, one piece that we focus on and promote is our customer service. Our students can come in at any point in their career or education level, and we can help them achieve their goals. We have a student success team that assists them

from admission all the way through until graduation. We also have a financial solutions team that helps students find the best option in paying for school.”

Students will not only develop sound professional skills, but also an ethical perspective for applying them. ONU understands the time demands on their students’ schedules and the effort required by their job. The university differentiates themselves from other online universities with their accelerated programs that meet online or on campus only one night per week and are completed in less than two years. That, coupled with affordable tuition,

CRIMINAL JUSTICE:

ONU emphasizes that anyone who is in the nursing profession has the power to help people heal while fulfilling the potential within oneself. Through ONU’s School of Graduate and Continuing Studies, the Nursing programs are designed to provide the skills and knowledge to help nurses do just that.

ONU offers business programs – designed to meet you where you are – at the associate, bachelor and master’s levels.

“We will be offering an inaugural MBA in February 2016,” explained Cati Lingle, Director of Educational Partnerships.

“Students whose employers are part of our academic partnership will receive not only a 20% tuition discount but will also be able to register for their first course for free. We are waiving the fee for this February 29, 2016, rollout. If the students work for a company that doesn’t offer the partnership, there are other ways to qualify for tuition discounts. We are affiliated with several associations. For example, if the students are members of a nursing association that we have a relationship with, they are eligible for tuition discounts.”

Bryan’s concern for helping people goes beyond their finances. He is treasurer of the CG Bantam Football League, a board member of the Franklin Chamber of Commerce and a member of Franklin Rotary Club.

He, his wife Khristina and their five children – two daughters and triplet boys – are members of Saints Francis and Claire Catholic Church.

Bryan joined the team of Lyman Snyder, Chartered Wealth Advisor® (CWA®), who has been managing the wealth of area residents, along with his registered assistant Brenda Mullins, for more than 40 years. Other team members include Allen Johnson, Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), an advisor for 30 years; and the newest addition, Financial Consultant Angela Johnson, with 15 years of experience in financial services. That backing allows Snyder and Epperson to continue to build the premier wealth management service companies in the area.

Epperson stated, “People are sometimes reluctant to discuss their financial situation with a professional. They may be afraid of being embarrassed or think they don’t have enough investments for anyone to help them. I say let’s talk and see what we can do to

I don’t think of this as a job,” shares Loraine.

Marian University’s Online Accelerated Nursing Program has created an alternative path into nursing for college-educated students seeking more rewarding options.

This 16-month program allows students to leverage a four-year degree into a bachelor’s in nursing with top quality training through a partnership with St. Vincent Health.

For one local family, this “second degree” option helped extend a family legacy of nursing and faith-inspired healthcare.

“During a visit to Evansville, I witnessed the Sisters [The Daughters of the Poor] and nurses caring for patients, and I could see myself doing that,” shares Rachael.

While having lunch with her mom in the St. Vincent Hospital cafeteria during her junior year of college, Rachael saw a Marian University table. “I picked up a brochure on the online accelerated program and started asking questions,” adds Rachael.

The Marian University Online Accelerated BSN Program is an intense, yet flexible, 16-month commitment. Lectures are online, with hands-on classroom exercises and clinical training at St. Vincent Hospital.

“I graduated from SIU in May and started with Marian in August,” says Rachael.

“The real-world clinicals at St. Vincent were great. The nurses and staff were very welcoming. It is a teaching hospital, and we were able to work closely with the wonderful nurses there. We gained confidence every day,” shares Rachael.

Students of the accelerated nursing program come from a wide array of backgrounds, ages, and experience, but they share the desire to pursue meaningful work in a highly sought-after field.

“In my class, there were students like me who just graduated from a four-year college,

a lawyer who practiced for 15 years, an Army Ranger, former teachers, an engineer and a marketing executive. All were making a career change,” shares Rachael.

Marian University’s Online Accelerated BSN program exposes their students to a multitude of options for careers in nursing without having to start over in a traditional program. With Marian University’s close relationship with St. Vincent, students are trained with state-of-the-art technology alongside some of the best healthcare practitioners in the country. Nursing remains among the nation’s fastest-growing careers; through Marian’s innovative approach, students earn a second degree for a second chance at success.

“THE GRATITUDE IS INDESCRIBABLE. NURSES WORK SO HARD, AND THEN YOU GET THANKED BY A PATIENT AND IT MAKES IT ALL WORTH IT.” - RACHAEL BROWN

THE FLATS AT FISHERS MARKETPLACE APARTMENTS Urban Suburban Living 9588 Ambleside Dr. Fishers, IN 46038 317-567-4949 liveflatsatfishers.com

CARNIVAL FESTIVALE Writer / Jimmy Girot III

A celebration is most certainly due—The Flats at Fishers Marketplace apartments has already leased 116 apartments and a booming community is being formed.

Ginger Collins, Vice President at Ackermann Group, is excited about the progress and “could not be happier with where the community is today.” Collins continued, “The good weather will bring completion of many projects at the site including continuation of the landscaping, installation of the dog park, bocce ball court and opening of the pool.” As if those amenities weren’t enticing enough, residents will also be able to relax by the pond or lounge under the cabana.

More reasons to celebrate can be found indoors, as well. The residents are already enjoying the clubhouse’s dynamic features

such as a coffee bar, beer tap, TV lounge, and billiard table. Not your average apartment community, The Flats also hosts a fitness center with 15 equipment options, Yoga Room, and an alreadypopular Zumba class program.

Lifestyles are clearly a design priority, according to Dobbs Ackermann, the project’s President and Owner, “The proximity and walkability of the community really integrates the residents into the neighborhood as well as provides the conveniences to fit today’s renters’ lifestyles.”

Enthusiasm for the new community is overwhelming as The Flats already has a waiting list for August move-ins. “It is all very exciting,” said Regional Manager Abba Raver – “The studios and one-bedrooms are [also] in such demand.” The Flats at Fishers Marketplace anticipates being 93 percent leased by July, so prospective renters are encouraged to reserve an apartment now!

Come join the celebration during The Flats Carnival on Saturday May 16th with inflatables, ice cream, hot dogs, hamburgers, face painting and much more!

Rachael Brown, a recent graduate of the Online Accelerated BSN Program, was attracted to Marian University for a number of reasons. “The Franciscan values of Marian University and those of St. Vincent Hospital are complementary, and I was drawn to their thoughtfulness in caring for a patient’s body, mind, and spirit. These are the values that I grew up with, and applying these on a daily basis in a work environment where I am truly helping people is what I knew I wanted to do.”

Rachael’s mother, Loraine Brown, began her own career as a nurse at St. Vincent 29 years ago. Having also attended Marian University (then Marian College), she was drawn to St. Vincent for the same reasons as her daughter and now serves as Executive Director of Mission Integration for St. Vincent Hospital.

Mother-daughter duo (left to right) Rachael and Loraine Brown both graduated from the Marian University School of Nursing.

Rachael attended Southern Illinois University (SIU) on a volleyball scholarship for her undergraduate degree. “At 18 years old, I had no idea what I wanted to major in.

I just knew that I wanted to play volleyball,” says Rachael. But motivated by a desire to help others, Rachael had a role model in nursing close by.
