Jory Flanery

Growing up in Britton, South Dakota, I learned early that hard work and thinking ahead matter. At age 12, I started a small lawn care business and found out there’s real satisfaction in earning your own money and making it work for you. I started investing my earnings as a teenager and watched what started as ‘summer job money’ actually grow.

Sitting in on meetings my parents had with their financial advisor only added to it. I was fascinated by the logic. You understand someone’s goals, you build the right strategy around them, and what seemed out of reach starts to become reachable.

When I began working with Cornerstone during an internship, it was the first place I experienced a culture where teammates cared about each other while staying fully committed to their clients. That combination of teamwork, servant leadership, and real investment in people shaped the kind of advisor I wanted to become.

Jory and his wife, Janessa, were married in September of 2025 and live in Sioux Falls. SD. Outside of the office, you’ll find him spending time with family, especially his niece and nephews, relaxing at the lake, traveling, and staying active through golf, pickleball, football, soccer, kayaking, and fitness.

Jory is a member of Cornerstone’s Investment Committee and holds Accredited Asset Management Specialist certification and the Chartered Federal Employee Benefits Consultant designation.
