Why I'm Here
People have always been at the center of my career. For more than 23 years as a hairstylist and salon owner, I have had the privilege of building lasting relationships, fostering community, and being part of some of life's biggest moments for my clients. When I joined Turning Leaf Financial at the beginning of 2024, I found a new way to continue serving people by helping them gain confidence in their financial future. Working alongside Wolfgang and our team has inspired me to pursue my next chapter as a Financial Advisor, where I can continue helping others navigate important life decisions and work toward their goals.
What I Do
I support clients and my colleagues through communication, planning support, operational coordination, and client service while continuing my training and development in financial advising. I also help plan events that bring clients, advisors, and community members together, fostering meaningful connections and strengthening relationships. Building trust, creating welcoming experiences, and helping people feel supported have been at the center of my career, and they continue to guide my work every day.
Beyond the Office
When I'm not in the office, you'll likely find me fostering dogs, volunteering with animal rescue organizations, gardening, camping, hiking, bowling, downhill skiing, or baking. I live in Northeast Minneapolis with my husband and am the proud mom of two young adult sons who are now away at college. While we've officially entered our empty-nester era, our home is still full of life thanks to our two cats, two dogs, and a collection of houseplants that continues to grow faster than I can keep track of.
Whether I'm helping a client, supporting a community event, or caring for a foster dog, I find the most fulfillment in building connections and helping others thrive.

As a Financial Advisor located in Minnesota with Equitable Advisors, this role helps me accomplish the goal of helping as many people as possible.

I help clients achieve financial prosperity through financial planning. This includes figuring out their unique goals, educating them on their options, and developing a plan for tomorrow, so they can live their lives today. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to evaluate these aspects and am always open to that conversation.

I am an avid Minnesota sports fan, which has taught me extreme perseverance. I am also proud to be a UMD Bulldog for life and have adopted the Duluth area as my second home. I find a hobby in anything competitive, from hockey to video games, as well as socializing with friends and family. My wife and I have a dog and two cats, and have successfully trained all three to walk on a leash.

Tristan Lehnen
Financial Advisor
Why I'm Here
I've always been fascinated by the forces that shape our financial world. While studying Economics at the University of Minnesota, I realized that what interested me most wasn't simply understanding economic trends, it was helping people make informed decisions that create positive change in their own lives. I enjoy building relationships, having meaningful conversations, and helping individuals and families navigate important financial decisions with confidence.
What I Do
As a Financial Advisor and CFP® professional, I help individuals and families create comprehensive, personalized financial plans that align with their goals, values, and vision for the future. Whether we're discussing retirement planning, investment strategies, wealth accumulation, or preparing for life's next chapter, my goal is to simplify complex financial topics and help clients feel empowered to make informed decisions. I enjoy helping clients connect today's decisions with tomorrow's opportunities while adapting as their lives evolve.Beyond the Office
When I'm not meeting with clients, I'm enjoying some of my favorite hobbies, including movies, sports, and cooking with my wife and dog. I also enjoy spending time in the community and supporting organizations that bring people together through collaboration and service. Whether trying a new recipe, following a game, or sharing a great film recommendation, I appreciate opportunities to connect with others and continue learning along the way.
