Wanting to build a net worth beyond what a paycheck would provide, LouAnn began her entrepreneurial journey at the young age of 24, when she and her husband Gene partnered to purchase their first business, a self-storage facility. As that business became profitable, they dedicated the proceeds to improving and expanding the storage enterprise and deployed funds into other investment properties, buying, improving, leasing, operating and selling commercial, specialty and residential real estate. LouAnn’s desire to learn more about building a net worth led her to pursue her education in Economics at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, while working full-time as a Corrections Officer at the Portage County Jail while simultaneously building and managing the real estate portfolio. LouAnn’s academic advisor recommended a career as a Wealth Management Advisor, recognizing her natural ability to connect with others, her endless thirst for knowledge and insatiable entrepreneurial drive. When their sons Jacob and Zachary were 7 and 9, LouAnn and Gene introduced them to their first business, Rolling Hills Driving Range, LLC, so the boys could gain a business acumen and develop a strong work ethic at an early age. Jacob and Zac grew with the business, operating the facility for 13 years until they each moved away for college.
LouAnn began her career in financial services in 1999 and is an Independent Wealth Management Advisor to a diverse group of individuals, families and business owners. Schulfer & Associates, LLC Wealth Management is largely recognized as a top wealth management firm in Central Wisconsin, and LouAnn’s success has earned her recognition by LPL Financial for Outstanding Client Service with induction into LPL’s Club Levels each year since 2016. LouAnn is most proud that Schulfer & Associates Wealth Management has been built 100% organically, not having bought anyone else’s business nor having been mentored by another advisor to eventually take over their business. Rather, Schulfer & Associates Wealth Management has been built with a hands-on approach, one client at a time.
In her free time, LouAnn most enjoys family togetherness. She is a disciplined health and fitness aficionado, and loves to write early in the morning! She gets a dose of “throttle therapy” driving her SS1LE bright red Camaro, snowmobiling a few thousand miles each year, and off-road UTV trail riding. She also enjoys listening to live music, creative cooking and savoring fine wines.
