Who We Are
At the Meyers Investment Group, we find joy in helping you live the life of your dreams. We have a family-first mentality, and we treat all of our clients with the affection and attentiveness we would use to treat our own families.
We believe that at the heart of any strong relationship is a foundation of trust. When you work with us, you can expect our team to take the time to understand you and your situation. Our company is employee-owned, with none of the pressures that a publicly-traded company might face, and our corporate culture puts the client first. That's why we chose to work with Baird and that's why we can assure you that your best interest will always be our top priority.

Preston Daniells
Sr Vice President, Private Wealth Management
Preston earned a degree in Accounting at the University of San Diego, then joined Baird in 2011 with seven years of financial industry experience. He focuses his efforts on retirement plans of all kinds: 401(k)s, profit-sharing plans, SIMPLE & SEP IRAs. Early on, Preston realized that even though a retirement plan is an essential part of a company’s benefits package, they are often overlooked due to time constraints. As a result, he began focusing his efforts on establishing trusted partnerships that streamline the process for both employers and plan participants. He is part of Baird's Qualified Plan Consulting Group, an exclusive circle of Financial Advisor teams who have dedicated their business to retirement plan clients. Qualified plan consultation is a highly specialized field requiring years of experience and depth of expertise. Only 3% of all advisors at Baird are included in this specialized field. He is a member of the Nevada County Business Network.
