Janie Nelson

I have been in the financial services industry for 32 years and joined Steve in opening the Tucson branch for Benjamin F. Edwards in 2019. My background is in Compliance, having been a compliance manager at several predecessor firms. I have enjoyed working with Steve over the past 11 years and have entered my retirement years so am working part-time now at Benjamin F. Edwards. My husband and I live on 20 acres in rural Marana with horses, pigs, goats, chickens, dogs, cats and even 3 sulcata tortoises. Maybe we should call it a zoo instead of a ranch? We are co-founders of a non-profit Therapeutic Riding Center because our passion is kids and horses. As a Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor, I am privileged to teach riding skills to children with special needs at our ranch. We are the proud parents of two daughters, one who is married, and we are blessed with 3 grandchildren. Our oldest granddaughter is already an avid horsewoman. I am blessed to be working with the Cooke-Mabley team and add my industry experience to our team as well as having their support for the work my husband and I do at our ranch.
