DSF Wealth Management Group, LLC Spins Off Financial Services Division of The Gleason Agency

New Firm Provides Local Business Owners and High Net Worth Individuals With Hands-On Approach to Planning and Charitable Giving Objectives


BRIDGEVILLE, PA--(Marketwire - Jun 27, 2011) - The partners of DSF Wealth Management Group, LLC today announced that they have spun off the Financial Services Division of The Gleason Agency, which has offices in Johnstown, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, following the sale of its property & casualty and employee benefits divisions in January to Arthur J. Gallagher Company of Chicago.

DSF Wealth Management Group was formed by three Gleason Financial, Ltd consultants, Peter Diulus, Dennis Spangler and Ryan Franks, who together have more than 55 years' experience advising individuals. Clients of Gleason Financial Services will now be clients of DSF Wealth Management Group, LLC and will continue to work with their current representative. They will also continue to utilize the same investment and insurance companies as they use presently. The firm's broker dealer will remain ING Financial Partners, and Peter Diulus will continue his affiliation with Charitable Concepts, LLC. The firm will be based in new offices in Bridgeville.

DSF stands for Diulus, Spangler, Franks -- the firm's three partners. To coincide with their initials and to highlight the firm's mission statement, their new tagline is "DreamSucceed Freedom."

"We are very happy for Rob and Chris Gleason, and we will maintain an ongoing relationship with The Gleason Agency," said Diulus, who has been associated with Gleason for the past 18 years. "Since the first time I interviewed with Chris and Rob, our objective was to create a financial services firm, within the structure of the Gleason Agency. We took a variety of paths to get there, and now we have six full-time registered representatives."

"In short, they allowed us to 'practice our craft' in a dynamic and supportive atmosphere. As a man who values family, I am gratified to say that Rob and Chris treated us as members of their extended family, and have never deviated from the mission that we began back in our initial meetings. I value their input as mentors, and I look forward to our continuing work and friendship for years to come."

In addition to Diulus, Spangler and Franks, the firm's associates include Michael Wolfe, Jay Shaffer and Neil Crowell. Holly Crock serves as "Director of First Impressions" and Office Manager.
