I’m David M. Telles, a relationship-driven financial professional who believes trust, transparency, and clear communication are the foundation of good advice—and of life in general. I take pride in building long-term relationships and helping people feel confident and informed when making important decisions.
Family is at the center of everything I do. I’m married to my wife, Claribel, who is Filipina, and I’m a proud stepfather to Sealtiel (14) and Uriel (13), and dad to David (3). Coaching my boys’ football, basketball, and baseball teams is one of the most rewarding parts of my life and has shaped how I lead—with patience, accountability, and heart.
I was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and moved to Arizona when I was just one year old. In a full-circle moment, I was fortunate enough to buy the very house I grew up in, where I now raise my own family. I’m half Italian and half Mexican, and those roots—along with strong family values—have played a big role in who I am today.
I played football and lacrosse through high school, and sports have always been a big part of my family’s life. I’m an avid golfer and a loyal Arizona sports fan, with season tickets to the Phoenix Suns, Arizona State Sun Devils, and Arizona Cardinals.
I’ve been lucky to travel extensively around the world, experiences that have broadened my perspective and appreciation for different cultures. Some of my favorite destinations include Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Europe, and Mexico.
Professionally and personally, I try to show up the same way every day: approachable, dependable, and committed to doing the right thing. Whether I’m working with clients, coaching on the field, or spending time with my family, I believe in leading with integrity, follow-through, and genuine care.
