Drew Backenstoss

Drew believes financial planning is at its best when it begins with people, not products. As a planner at heart, he sees money as a tool, one that, when managed intentionally, can create freedom, opportunity, and alignment with what matters most. His work centers on helping successful individuals, families, business owners, and professionals bring clarity and purpose to their financial lives through thoughtful planning and wise stewardship.

Before entering financial services, Drew spent more than a decade in executive leadership as the Director of Human Resources for a national law firm and advocacy organization. That experience gave him a deep appreciation for the complexity of people’s lives, careers, and long-term decision-making. His passion for financial planning was also shaped by witnessing within his own family the lasting impact that thoughtful preparation, or the lack of it, can have across generations.

After beginning his advisory career at Edward Jones in 2022, Drew joined Soulence Wealth Advisors to better serve clients through broader planning capabilities, sophisticated strategies, and a collaborative team approach. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a Finance emphasis from the BYU Marriott School of Business and has passed the SIE, Series 7, and Series 66 examinations.

Outside of work, Drew’s greatest joy is his wife, Stephanie, and their two daughters. He enjoys reading, writing, board games, live entertainment, and the Utah mountain views that never get old.
