Al Gills is a Vice President and Wealth Management Advisor in the Pasadena Merrill Lynch office. Al attended Old Dominion University and Christopher Newport University in Virginia obtaining a Bachelors degree in Business Management and a minor in Finance. He has served in the Financial Services industry for 22 years, the last 18 with Merrill Lynch. Al has obtained the CRPC® (Chartered Retirement Planning CounselorSM) designation. His focus is on forming long-term relationships and helping clients with all aspects of their financial lives.
Al works with individuals, families, and business owners at all stages of the business cycle from startup to maturity. Firstly, Al understands the unique challenges facing today’s business owners and he knows how to help you navigate through this current economic environment. As a committed family man, he also understands the challenges, concerns, and financial pressures that go into raising a family. This is why Al has committed himself to taking a thoughtful and holistic approach to both your business and family finances. This approach is oriented towards the long term, and begins by evaluating each client’s special financial needs and risk tolerance. Every client is unique, therefore the time and frequency needed to provide detailed financial and investment guidance may vary. Because there are many areas of financial interest to his clients, Al takes the time necessary to listen to and educate families and business owners about their choices and assist them in making thoughtful decisions appropriate for their current needs and aspirations.
Al is married to Yolanda, and a proud father of 5 children; Jessica, Grady, Gabriel, Karly, and Joseph. He loves to spend time with his family being outdoors, hiking and boating. He also spends a lot of time involved with the Athletic Booster Program at Arcadia High School, where his kids play baseball, softball, soccer, and run track on the high school teams.

Your life and goals change. We can help you keep track of these changes so they can be reflected in your financial strategy.
MyMerrill is your destination for access to your financial information, secure communications, and a robust offering of tools and capabilities.
*Peace of mind is an aspirational state of mind that clients hope to achieve. There are no guaranteed results following completion of the Goals-Based Wealth Management process because markets can fluctuate and investments can lose value. Advisors work with clients to help them understand how the goals based wealth management process can help to address their concerns, financial situation and priorities.
Helping you reach your goals starts with getting to know you personally. Through understanding what matters most to you, I can help you create a financial strategy that reflects your personality. Only then can I offer an approach that is built around your life priorities and the ongoing advice you need to help you manage fluctuations in the market and changes in your life. Let’s work together to help you achieve your goals.
As Merrill Lynch financial advisors, we will sort through the financial complexities of your life, helping you build a customized investment strategy to pursue your goals.
We put you first, every day.
