Craig Clements, CLF ®

Craig is one of the owners of Artisan Wealth and is an LPL Financial Advisor with nearly twenty years of experience in the financial services industry. He began his career with American Express Financial Advisors (now Ameriprise Financial) as an Independent Franchise Financial Advisor before moving into a full‑time leadership role in 2005. Over the next fifteen years, he coached, trained, and mentored Advisors, Managers, and Staff nationwide across three broker‑dealers, most recently serving as the Market Director for the Ohio Valley / Tennessee Market at Waddell & Reed.

Following LPL Financial’s acquisition of Waddell & Reed, Craig returned to personal practice and partnered with Janette Koon to form the Koon Clements Team. As their practice grew, Craig recognized that a team‑based approach was the ideal way to better serve clients, expand capabilities, and strengthen long‑term continuity planning. The opportunity to merge with Artisan Wealth became a natural next step—aligning shared values, enhancing resources, and ensuring clients would benefit from a deeper bench of support.

Craig’s educational journey includes Tupelo High School in Tupelo, Mississippi, Northeast Community College in Booneville, and the University of Mississippi in Oxford. His leadership and performance have been recognized with multiple honors, including the 2015 and 2016 Circle of Champions Awards and the 2019 Crest Award from Waddell & Reed.

Craig and his wife, Kherri, have been married for 22 years and live in Noblesville, where they enjoy being close to family, friends, and the community they’ve built over the years. A former starting pitcher in college, Craig still carries a deep love for sports—especially anything related to Ole Miss. He also enjoys traveling and exploring new places, whether it’s a quick weekend getaway or a trip that offers a chance to unwind and recharge.

Craig’s approach to financial planning is rooted in leadership and partnership. He believes in helping clients define what truly matters in their lives, understand where they stand today, and make thoughtful adjustments along the way so they can move confidently toward their goals. While his career happened to unfold in financial services, the heart of his work has always been guiding, coaching, and walking alongside people as they navigate life’s most important decisions.
