Kendall Stahl
Advisor & Partner

Kendall Stahl has a passion for helping clients live the lives they have always dreamed about in retirement. He has seen firsthand how having no plan can affect your life and is motivated to change that for people. He has passed the Series 65 securities exam and holds a life and health insurance license in Illinois. Kendall is the fearless leader of the team, always pushing the team to be the best versions of themselves.

Kendall joined the team in 2015 with a vast knowledge of the agricultural industry and a strong work ethic. Growing up, he worked on a grain and cattle operation with his father and grandfather. Today, he continues the family tradition by running his own farm operation with his wife, Carrie, and sons, Kyser and Cashton. He loves to be outside working cattle or boating - and occasionally traveling (when Carrie makes him).

Favorite hobby: Raising show cattle

Favorite food: Haystacks or chocolate cake

Favorite part about working at 210 Financial: Being able to help people plan and retire earlier than they anticipated. The joy from that is contagious!
