Meet Our Team
For the past 35+ years, Rockett Financial has been helping clients overcome the uncertainties of life. While each client’s concerns are different, all share the common goal of wanting to be financially secure. Rockett Financial is centered on helping clients successfully meet their financial goals, including retirement. While there is a planning process, there is no formula or one-size-fits-all solution. Rockett Financial’s objective is to help clients save time and money with the least amount of stress and risk, the end-goal of making successful retirement within their reach. Recognizing that each client has their own needs, we develop individualized plans that address a client’s concerns such as, not saving enough money, feeling insecure about the investment markets and the uncertainty created by all the financial decisions to be made. This interview process results in easy-to-follow steps, with us providing direction along the way, resulting in a progression toward the clients’ retirement dreams.
“The most enjoyable part of this process is that while solutions may share similar products or outcomes, everyone has their own story. I enjoy learning each individual or family story.”

“You feel a connection to them and then hopefully through financial planning become a (positive) part of their story and the story of our community.”

The 2020 pandemic created a sudden change in his plans and he took a job with the Raymond Post Office. This gave him three years to decide that he wanted to be in financial services. Ethan met with David & Bob Rockett to learn more about their business and in the process, they offered him a job. Ethan has gotten all his investment and insurance licenses and is currently providing retirement planning services for new and existing clients of Rockett Financial.
