About Our Firm

Our History

The roots of McKenna Financial are deep and strong. The firm traces its origins back to 1949, when John McKenna Sr. quit his job working for the Northern Pacific Railroad to become a New York Life agent. John McKenna Jr. joined the organization in June of 1974 and was followed by his daughter, Meghann, in 2004. The firm has continued to expand market base through the acquisition of veteran New York Life Agents practices. As well as market expansion, the firm has also grown into the financial planning and asset management arenas. Berkley Hudson joined the firm in 2013 bringing added leadership in those disciplines. In 2015 McKenna Financial also welcomed Leisl Mooer to the advisor team. Leisl had been with our firm in a support role in planning and financial asset management. Also, joining in 2015 was Micaela McKenna who is the youngest of the McKenna family. She joins John her father and Meghann her sister. Our past is strong and our future looks bright.
