Dana P. Basballe, CFP®

Dana P. Basballe's career in financial services began shortly after he earned his Bachelor's Degree in Finance, with a minor in Economics, from St. Cloud State University in 1995.  He worked for Prime Vest and Dain Bosworth in the Twin Cities for a couple years before accepting the position of Investment Officer at Peoples State Bank in Plainview in 1997 and worked for the bank until mid-2002.
