Our Team


Steven Switzer, CIM ®

Portfolio Manager

My wife Jackie and I have been married since 1993. She runs a home décor business with the help of our newly graduated daughter Carly who obtained a business marketing degree. We love to travel, spend time with friends and family, and I suck at golf but still enjoy it. I became an investment advisor with an independent brokerage firm in 2007; I was managing my own money and saw a need to help others the same way I was managing my portfolio. This has since become my passion and life:  helping clients manage their wealth the same way that I manage my own money. In 2015, I moved to Raymond James and Fort Saskatchewan with my family to continue this passion, and I eventually earned my CIM designation to become a portfolio manager, so that I can manage my clients’ assets on a discretionary basis as I would do for myself and my family.




Amanda Sears

Assistant

I'm the proud mother of 2 boys who always keep me on my toes and are constantly impressing me as they turn into young men. I have lived in Fort Saskatchewan since I was 12 and have been happily married to my husband Devin for 24 years. I enjoy yoga, running, and the occasional glass of wine. I love working at Switzer Financial because of the wonderful relationships I have built with our clients. Many of these folks have become like family and a day does not go by where I don't get a thank you or a hug from my extended Raymond James family. 



Claus Mueller

Registered Representative

My wife, Sandra, and I have been based in Fort Saskatchewan for 25 years and we got to know Steve as clients of the Switzer team for over 9 years. After 28 years in the energy industry, I decided to make a change and join the Switzer team. My goal is to bring the same great level of service and benefits we have enjoyed to the people in my network.

We love scuba-diving, camping, paddling, hiking, and exploring new places while traveling. I also try to keep up with our kids cycling, downhill and cross-country skiing.
