When you see or hear the name, Waterstone Private Wealth Management, you might think it’s for the very wealthy. Co-owners Ken Grant and wife Melanie Hasty-Grant, want everyone to know that isn’t the case. Wealth is a relative term and the services offered at Waterstone are appropriate for anyone who wants to make the most of their investments. “Wealth isn’t something that just happens to you one day (unless you win the lottery). You have to have a plan and a strategy to get you there,” said Melanie. “We are the ones to help you do that.” Neither Ken nor Melanie was born with a silver spoon in
their mouth. Ken grew up in Mesquite, Texas, enjoyed sports, and played football at OSU. Today Ken spearheads investment analysis and strategic counsel for Waterstone Private Wealth Management and has more than 20 years of experience in business administration and investment management. He is a sought-after source for national television, radio, and news outlets. Recent appearances include CNBC’s PowerLunch, Fox Business Opening Bell, The Dow Jones Newswire, and The Wall Street Journal. Melanie grew up on a farm in Arkansas. She received a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from OSU and was
employed as a marriage and family counselor for 11 years. She attributes this experience for her down-to-earth, straight talking, tell-it-like-it-is style when she counsels clients today. Melanie handles the long-term, big-picture planning, client development, and financial planning side of the business. Melanie also writes a series of articles for Value News entitled, “Ask the Money Maven.” “I write my monthly articles based on what my clients are worried or concerned about,” she says.
