Tyler Skrobonja

Head of Operations


As the head of operations, my role is dynamic, from keeping the team on track with projects to ensuring the office runs efficiently. I'm often found running between backstage operations and client-facing meetings, allowing me to interact with everyone in the office while getting to know our clients.

I graduated from Missouri Baptist University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Holding a Life and Health Insurance license and a Series 7 securities license, I'm currently working on obtaining my Series 66 license and other certifications. I've been working full-time with Skrobonja Financial since 2016 and am thrilled to work alongside friends and family who all care about each other - which, I believe, translates into the care we have for our clients. I find it exciting to see plans come together for our clients and to play a pivotal role in their lives.

I'm also the College Pastor at First Baptist Arnold and have a wonderful family: Taylor, my wife, and our three great kids: Waylon, McCoy, and SallyAnn. We have two Bluetick beagles named Willie and Charlie and a black cat named Smokey. I enjoy playing guitar, hunting, fishing, skateboarding, and playing baseball, and I'm a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean. Growing up, I loved reading John Maxwell books while all the other kids watched SpongeBob.

Operations


I'm part of the operations team, responsible for opening client accounts, assisting in fund transfers, and tracking and archiving account information. I'm also involved in the day-to-day back office operations and may reach out for additional information on your account as needed.

I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Economics & Finance from Southwest Baptist University in December 2021. After starting as an intern in the summer of 2020, I joined Skrobonja Financial full-time after graduating. I'm licensed in life and health insurance in Missouri and working on other licenses and certifications.

I chose to work at Skrobonja Financial because of its holistic approach to financial planning, focusing on helping clients reach their goals rather than just selling products.
Personally, I'm about to get married to my fiancée Ally this fall. I'm active in my church, serving as a small group leader in the student ministry. I love playing guitar, board games with family, and watching St. Louis Blues hockey.

Client Care


I'm part of our client service team, here to assist you with any account-related inquiries, service needs such as money movement, beginning retirement income, or account maintenance. I've been a part of Skrobonja Financial for the past 7 years, with the last 3 years serving as the Client Services Associate. I hold a Bachelor's Degree from Missouri Baptist University.

I chose to work at Skrobonja Financial for the family aspect of the company. Our office environment and community are truly unique, and our team’s family-like quality provides incredible support and confidence, making even the toughest days better. I find great joy in assisting our clients, helping them navigate their financial journeys, and witnessing the clarity and excitement they gain for their futures.

Personally, I'm a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, married to my husband Rex, and we're proud parents of two sweet daughters, Audrey and Ada. We love coffee dates, reading, and trips to the zoo or park with the little ones. If I had it my way we would end most of our days watching Harry Potter. A girl can dream!

I am a part of the operations team, here to assist you with scheduling and working behind the scenes to support you and our team. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and master's degree in speech-language pathology from Georgia State University. I began my career as a certified Speech-Language Pathologist (CCC-SLP), where I supported families and managed documentation in hospitals, schools, and private practices.

I made the switch to financial planning operations to bring together my documentation skills with my passion for helping families achieve financial freedom, and joined the Skrobonja Financial team in 2023. I chose to work with Brian and his team because I believe in his mission of passive income through investing and the culture of compassion and support.

I live with my husband, Kendall, and our rambunctious golden doodle, Scarlett. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, cheering on the Georgia Bulldawgs, and striving to love like Jesus in my every day life. I consider myself a cinephile, adventure seeker, book lover, and board game enthusiast.

Batteries Included

We show up, hit the ground running and have a “batteries included” mentality. We are motivated, ready to work and ready to take ownership of whatever comes our way. We are here to bring our A-game, positivity and a “can-do” attitude every single day. No vampires!

Take Charge

We take initiative and see challenges as opportunities to innovate, think critically, and to find solutions that make things better. We’re not afraid to ask questions, to explore new ideas or to push the boundaries. This keeps us ahead of the curve and what allows us to deliver exceptional results for our clients.

Surprise and Delight

We strive to surprise and delight by going the extra mile. We genuinely care about our clients and one another. We anticipate their needs, and we take pride in exceeding expectations. It’s about building relationships, not just transactions.

Get Things Done

We are a team and we understand that success comes from working together. We put the team first, because we know that when we collaborate effectively, we achieve incredible things. We hold ourselves accountable, own our results, and never make excuses. We are a group of go-getters, and we get things done.

Shared Values

Finally, and most importantly, our core values are rooted in shared Christian values. We believe in doing the right thing, even when it’s difficult. We believe in honesty and integrity, in saying what we mean and doing what we say. This foundation of trust is what allows us to build strong relationships with our clients and with each other.
