Leonardo F. Chang is a Financial Advisor who brings over a decade of experience to the table. Leonardo entered the financial advising world driven by a passion for building meaningful, lasting relationships. He views his role not just as a profession but as a daily opportunity to make a difference.
Leonardo is committed to helping clients achieve successes they once thought were out of reach. Be it supporting a couple in funding their daughter's wedding, aiding a business owner in stepping into a well-deserved retirement, helping newlyweds purchase their dream home, or guiding a widow towards financial independence, he believes these triumphs affirm the value and impact of his work.
Leonardo's roots are in Sarasota, Florida. He began his higher education journey at South Florida Junior College and completed it at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, formerly known as The University of Texas Pan American. He then received his Master of Arts in financial planning and Law at Regent University in Virginia. Today, he resides in McAllen, Texas, with his wife Stephanie, and their four children, Aiden, Ava, Amaya, and Aubriella. Leonardo is deeply involved in his community, not just professionally but personally. He is a devoted coach and mentor to his children's youth sports teams, a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and an enthusiastic golfer.
Beyond his family and professional life, Leonardo is an active member of the UTRGV Foundation Board of Trustees and a faithful member of Our Lady of Sorrow Catholic Church. He also supports and donates to the local boys and girls club.
Leonardo's go-to financial advice reflects his pragmatic, honest approach to life and finance: "Wealth isn't built on secrets or shortcuts-it's built on discipline, transparency, and doing the right thing even when no one's watching."
