Matt.bosway@missionbridgewealth.com

Matt seeks to create meaningful, long-lasting relationships with his clients, which allows for the creation of holistic, tailored plans for financial success.  It is the emphasis on relationship-building that attracted Matt to the Financial Services industry, although he took an unorthodox path to get there, along the way developing a unique perspective he now leverages for the benefit of his clients.

After graduating from the University of St. Thomas with a degree in Finance, Matt joined 3M Company to pursue his dream of working in international business.  Over 20 years at 3M, he was fortunate to do exactly that, leading several global businesses and enjoying stints in St. Paul, MN; Austin, TX and Tokyo, Japan.  During this time, he also obtained an MBA from the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas.

Matt eventually developed a small-business itch that ultimately led to him becoming President of Sunscape Landscaping, a commercial landscaping business with operations in Austin and San Antonio, Texas.  A successful tenure at Sunscape culminated with the sale of the company and Matt’s decision to take a one-year sabbatical to spend time with his wife and children.

Upon emerging from that sabbatical, Matt and his family relocated to Minnesota, and he joined MissionBridge Wealth in 2023.  It was a homecoming of sorts for Matt, as he was raised in Coon Rapids, MN and attended high school at Totino-Grace in Fridley, before going on to St. Thomas and 3M.  He considers Minnesota and Texas both to be “home” and is serving clients in both states and beyond.

Matt and his wife, Abby, have three children, Reagan, Ellen and Warren, as well as a boxer named Nacho.  Matt enjoys physical activity, the outdoors, sports, travel, laughing, debating, cultural exchange and, most of all, spending time with family and friends.  He is usually plotting to combine as many of those things as possible.

daren.halvorson@missionbridgewealth.com

As a Wealth Advisor Daren enjoys helping marriages become aligned in their financial vision. He believes money should be viewed as a tool and not the end goal. It’s more important to focus on what you do with it rather than how much you have of it. Through the formation of a financial plan, he helps his clients put their wealth on a Mission and Bridge the gap between where they’re at now and where they want to be.

Daren graduated from the University of Northwestern – St. Paul with a bachelors in Applied Mathematics. In his studies he focused on finding trends, solving difficult problems, and analyzing outcomes. He’s been in the Financial Services industry since the beginning of 2019 serving clients and their families.

He was born in Prescott, Arizona but his family quickly decided cooler weather apparently made more sense so he spent most of his life in the city of South St. Paul here in Minnesota. That’s where he first dove into a personal relationship with God, where he grew in his enthusiasm for sports (baseball, football, and basketball), where he met his now wife (Abigail), where he currently resides and watches his son Asher sprout up before his very eyes.

When he’s not in the office, you can find him enjoying quality time with his family and friends, taking part in anything containing the word ‘game’ in it (whether it be board, yard, card, or video), being active in an assortment of sports (slow-pitch softball, golf, basketball, mountain biking on trails, or the latest in tennis and pickleball), and marveling the outdoors.
