After a distinguished career in finance and service, Dan Hamlet has embarked on a new venture with 360 Integrated Financial. His mission is to help individuals, businesses, and non-profits thrive by integrating faith and financial wisdom, fostering a vibrant and sustainable community in Fairmont.

Transforming Lives and Communities Through Stewardship and Service

A Journey Shaped by Purpose and Dedication

Dan Hamlet’s path to founding 360 Integrated Financial was not linear but deeply rooted in his commitment to serving others. After earning degrees from the University of Dallas, including an MBA, Hamlet began his career at Edward Jones in St. Louis. However, the events of 9/11 and a strong sense of duty led him to join the Marines, where he spent four formative years. This experience instilled in him a profound understanding of living life with purpose and dedication. The Marine Corps taught Hamlet the importance of aligning one's efforts toward a greater goal. "It was transformative," he recalls. "Learning to focus all my energy on achieving something bigger than myself was invaluable." Following his time in the Marines, Hamlet served in the Army Reserves, eventually becoming an ROTC instructor at Truman State University. Each chapter of his life reinforced his belief in the power of purpose-driven action.

Building a Legacy in Fairmont

Hamlet’s connection to Fairmont began when Edward Jones offered him an opportunity to relocate closer to his wife’s family. The move proved to be a blessing for both his career and personal life. With seven children, Hamlet found Fairmont to be an ideal place to raise a family. "It’s a safe, beautiful city filled with wonderful people," he says. "Fairmont quickly became home."During his tenure with Edward Jones, Hamlet felt a growing desire to integrate his faith with his financial expertise. Studying to become a Certified Kingdom Advisor opened his eyes to the potential impact of combining spiritual wisdom with financial planning. "I started listening more intently to the Holy Spirit and praying for guidance," he explains. "The message was clear: serve the kingdom of God, and there’s no need for anxiety."

Fostering Financial Stewardship and Community Growth

At 360 Integrated Financial, Hamlet focuses on three key areas to benefit the community. First, he works with individuals and families who wish to align their faith with their finances. By viewing money as a tool for stewardship, clients can make more meaningful financial decisions that reflect their values.Second, Hamlet assists business owners in ensuring the longevity of their enterprises. As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor, he helps companies considering closure explore options like selling or transferring ownership. This approach aims to preserve jobs and maintain the local business culture. "The goal is to minimize disruptions and ensure businesses continue to thrive," he emphasizes.Finally, Hamlet supports non-profits in becoming financially sustainable. He believes that well-managed non-profits can have a significant positive impact on the community. "When organizations are stable, they can better serve those in need," he notes. Through these efforts, Hamlet envisions a Fairmont where generosity and gratitude flourish, creating a thriving environment for all residents.

A Brighter Future Through Generosity and Discipleship

Hamlet’s vision extends beyond individual success to encompass the broader community. He firmly believes that successful people who live with gratitude and generosity contribute to a more beautiful and harmonious place to live. "If I can help even a few people grow in their generosity and discipleship, it will have ripple effects throughout the community," he asserts.Fairmont has already seen the benefits of Hamlet’s work, and he remains committed to making it an even better place for future generations. "I love this town," he concludes. "In my small way, I hope to contribute to its continued growth and prosperity."
