Introduction

For over four decades, Dennis DeYoung, CFP® has been investing in the future of his clients. He began his dream career of becoming a stockbroker within a month of graduating from California State University, Northridge. While obtaining a business degree concentrated in Finance and Real Estate, Dennis worked during the week at a local investment firm. It was there that he was mentored by veterans of the finance field to develop the skill set and knowledge necessary to succeed. This first job instilled in him the importance of ethical financial planning that would become the foundation for his lifelong career.

For the last 25 years, Dennis has worked within a few miles of his alma mater which allows him to pursue various philanthropic and volunteer activities. He has served as President of the Alumni Association and currently serves on the Alumni Board, the Board of the Heritage Society, and the University’s Foundation Board. He is also a recipient of the Volunteer Service Award. As University donors, Dennis and his wife, Carrie, have endowed a scholarship for students in the Nazarian College of Business & Economics and have made many donations to campus improvements and the volleyball program.

In 1992, Dennis received the Certified Financial Planner™ designation and has been a registered stockbroker and California Real Estate Broker since 1987. In addition, he is a licensed tax preparer with the California Tax Education Council (CTEC) and a Notary Public. The SFV Business Journal recognized Dennis DeYoung as a Trusted Advisor in the Wealth Management category from 2012-2017. In 2016 and 2025, Dennis was a finalist for the Fernando Award recognizing his volunteer service in the community. He was also recognized as a member of the CSUN Nazarian College of Business & Economics “Fabulous 50” alumni for their 50-year gala celebration.
