Our Team
Rooted in Relationships. Guided by Values.
At Rooted Legacies Financial, we believe the best financial advice begins with understanding people—not just portfolios.
Our roots run deep in the Driftless Region of Wisconsin. We understand the importance of community, family, hard work, and taking care of those around us. Those values shape every client relationship we build.
Terry Sebranek
Terry and his wife, Jenna, have been together since high school. After spending time away for college and medical school, they were grateful for the opportunity to return home to rural Richland Center, where they are raising their family and investing in the community they love. Together, they enjoy community events, charitable and mission work, and spending time at the lake with their extended family.
As Founder of Rooted Legacies Financial, Terry is passionate about helping families build, preserve, and pass on what matters most. He believes financial decisions are most meaningful when viewed as part of a comprehensive plan that considers each client's unique goals, values, family circumstances, and vision for the future.
Terry works closely with clients to coordinate all aspects of their financial lives, including investments, insurance, real estate, Social Security, tax planning, caregiving considerations, and estate planning. By collaborating with a trusted network of experienced attorneys and other professionals, he helps clients navigate important decisions with confidence and clarity.
His guiding principle is simple: to always act in the client's best interest while helping families create meaningful legacies and financial confidence for generations to come.

Alyssa Gander
Alyssa was born and raised among the rolling hills of Richland Center in Wisconsin's Driftless Region, where she developed a deep appreciation for the rural lifestyle and the outdoors. Whether she's hunting (including all the "off-season" work that somehow keeps her busy year-round), riding UTVs through the countryside, or spending time at the lake, Alyssa appreciates any opportunity to be outdoors, connect with nature, and make lasting memories with family.
Growing up in a family-owned business, Alyssa was exposed to conversations about finances, accounting, and taxes from an early age, helping spark her interest in the financial services profession. She holds a degree in Finance with an emphasis in Financial Planning from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater and has a particular interest in tax planning. Alyssa enjoys analyzing how tax-efficient strategies can help clients keep more of what they've earned and support their broader financial goals.
By combining her passion for tax planning with Terry's financial planning expertise, Alyssa believes clients benefit from an integrated approach that evaluates important financial decisions through both financial and tax lenses. This approach helps clients better understand the opportunities and tradeoffs associated with their decisions while working toward their long-term goals as tax-efficiently as possible.
