Hayden joined Ipsen Advisor Group in May 2026 as a Paraplanner and is working toward becoming an Associate Financial Advisor. Throughout his career, Hayden found that the part of his work he enjoyed most was working with people. When his desire for a career that combined his skills and real relationships met his longstanding interest in personal finance it led him straight to the world of financial planning.

Hayden earned his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arkansas. Since making the transition to financial planning, he has passed the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) exam and is studying for the Series 65. Before joining Ipsen Advisor Group, Hayden worked in a variety of roles that gave him experience in everything from technical design and data analysis to process improvement, customer service, and problem-solving. His engineering background still serves him well by bringing an analytical approach, attention to detail, and a natural curiosity about how all the pieces fit together.

Outside of work, Hayden enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, as well as their extended family and friends. They enjoy traveling, the zoo, and lazy movie days at home. Hayden is also a gearhead and likes working with his hands, whether he’s wrenching on cars or tackling a home improvement project, and playing golf and tennis when he gets the chance.
