Gerilyn Merrill

Wealth Advisor

gerilyn@everspire.com

For those who haven’t yet had the pleasure, Gerilyn has been part of the Everspire story for years—serving as a sourcing advisor and IAR since 2017 (and even before that at Cederian Investments, which she co-founded in 2009).

 

While Gerilyn is a licensed advisor, her true passion is bridging the gap between clients and their individual advisors—creating a clear, connected experience for everyone involved. Drawing on her deep industry knowledge and long-standing relationships, she works to enhance both client satisfaction and advisor efficiency, helping to navigate the complexities of the financial world with warmth, clarity, and purpose.

 

Gerilyn’s professional background is matched by a vibrant life outside the office. She served on the Primary Children’s Hospital Planned Giving Committee, was an active BNI participant, and has traveled extensively. As a mother of eight, she’s deeply involved in school, church, and community activities—and, yes, she’s been known to send Everspire some of our best interns and summer employees (though they never seem to stay forever). Everspire is lucky to have her—bringing her intelligence, warmth, and remarkable ability to connect people and ideas.
