Barbara Suzanne Wagner

I bring 26 years of financial services experience to Resilient Wealth Management, including 15 years with Merrill Lynch and 11 years with Strongtower Financial. Over that time, I’ve learned that good financial guidance begins with understanding the person sitting across from you. I take the time to listen, learn what matters most to each client and provide guidance that reflects their goals, priorities and circumstances.

Financial advising has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father spent 27 years as a broker with Merrill Lynch, and watching his career gave me an early look at the responsibility that comes with serving clients. His example shaped the values I still bring to my work today: integrity, service and relationships built over time.

Originally from Montana, I am the proud mother of two adult children and grandmother of three. My daughter, son-in-law and three grandsons live here in Fresno, so much of my time outside the office is spent with family. My son lives in Huntington Beach and makes his way to Fresno whenever he can. I am also actively involved with CrossCity Church.

When I’m not working or spending time with family, you can usually find me gardening. I’m especially proud of my calla lilies. At home, I have plenty of company from Shadow, my German Shepherd mix, and my two cats, Puss and Boots.

And something clients may not guess about me: outside of financial services, I also hold a motorcycle license and a mixologist license.

“My philosophy is simple: listen first, understand what matters most, and put my clients’ interests at the center of every recommendation.”
