Angela Johnson and Doug May have joined Ashton Thomas Private Wealth as part of the Confluence Team based in Grand Junction.

The team had about $300 million in assets under management while at their prior firm, WealthSource.

“The decision to join Ashton Thomas Private Wealth was the result of a lengthy due diligence process during which we explored many options for our wealth management business,” Johnson said. “Ashton Thomas offers a supportive environment with experienced professionals who approach wealth advice like we do. In the end, we made the decision because we believed this was the right choice for the clients we have served for so long.”

Johnson brings to her duties two years of experience with WealthSource and 14 years with Wells Fargo. May worked with WealthSource for 10 years and operated his own registered investment adviser firm prior to that.

In addition to Johnson and May, the Confluence Team will include Denise Cook, senior associate; Nic Hansen, associate wealth advisor; Jared Hadin, an associate and investment portfolio analyst; and Lisa Mauser, an associate with private wealth client services.

Daniel Barry, chief growth officer for Ashton Thomas, said Johnson and May are part of the firm’s second team and third office location in Colorado. “They are upstanding citizens and financial professionals who have diligently served clients for decades in the Western Slope region. We are delighted to welcome them to Ashton Thomas and support their growth from this point forward.”
