Del Dreyer
Partner
What many people expect from their financial advisor is common sense. They get a healthy dose of it when they meet Del Dreyer. Del credits his parents with instilling him with solid values. “My dad didn’t believe in debt (or a lot of it), and so we taught ourselves to be satisfied with what we could afford,” he says.
He also admits inheriting his love of numbers from his father. That made choosing a career pretty easy. Originally from Indiana, Del studied accounting at the International College in Fort Wayne and began his career as a corporate accountant in Chicago, before he decided to apply his accounting background to the financial services business.
The transition to working with clients on their personal finances was an easy one. Del joined a national financial services firm and started learning the trade. In 1980 he moved to Tulsa and opened the private practice that continues to thrive to this day. Del specializes in corporate retirement plans, retirement income planning, and estate planning. Succession planning for multi-‐generational businesses constitutes a large portion of his work with business owners of privately held enterprises. “I particularly enjoy helping people grow and maintain their assets and provide protection for the unexpected,” he says.
Outside of work, Del follows all kinds of sports – whether as a spectator, or as a participant. He plays golf, tennis and basketball. He served as the President of the Rotary Club of Tulsa in 2009-2010, and continues to be an active Rotarian. Del is very involved with Christ the Redeemer Lutheran Church, where he has served as President three times over the past twenty years. He has also served on the Board of the Tulsa Estate Planning Forum and as President of the Tulsa Chapter of the Society of Financial Service Professionals. He and his wife, Jan, reside in Tulsa. They have three adult daughters and eight grandchildren.
