Chapel and Collins was born in 2004 when Donna Chapel, who had founded SB Investment Advisors, LLC in 1998, and Dennis Collins, then an associate with a Denver-based wealth-management firm, joined forces to bring high caliber financial planning to Northern Colorado. In 2006, they established a Denver office to better serve their clients in the metro area. Chapel & Collins is currently advising on $500 million for private clients and retirement plan sponsors, offering securities through Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC.
