Kirk Walker,
Owner & Licensed Insurance Professional 

As the Owner of Guardian Financial Partners, I pride myself on always doing my best for each client in an ever-changing environment. I want each client to feel heard, cared for and ultimately in a better situation than they were prior to working with me. One of the most profound lessons I have learned through the years is this: People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. With that, I want all my clients to know that I truly care about them. 


I have a passion for helping people and problem-solving. As a child, I watched my grandfather pass away early on and I witnessed first-hand the financial toll it took on my grandmother and family. When I started in the industry over a decade ago, I realized how many people needed help and the impact that I could have, not only on individuals but on future generations.

I value education and earned three bachelor’s degrees, studying education, management and recreation. I have also worked as a teacher at the collegiate level. I am insurance licensed, and I have been securities licensed in the past. After working in the financial and insurance industry for more than 10 years, I understand the market, products, trends and client concerns. I strive to share my knowledge with clients so they can better understand their own situations and make informed decisions.


When I’m not working, I love to spend time with my daughters. I also enjoy playing golf. Playing a round of golf with my daughters is the best of both worlds. When not with them, I surround myself with friends and family. We watch a lot of football and I like to cook. It’s a win-win for everyone. Now, if I can just figure out how to get my grill on my golf cart, life would be perfect!
