Brian Kennedy,  AEP®, AIF®, ChFC®,CMFC®,
CRPC®,CSA® CLTC®, LUTCF®

Wealth Planning Advisor and President

From an early age, Brian was taught the importance of planning ahead and making financial decisions carefully. His father passed away when he was only 7 years old, and his mother had to find a way to provide for her young family with little education or outside support. While things were far from easy, Brian credits his mother’s smart money decisions and proclivity for saving as the main reasons they were able to get through those difficult times.

Brian learned early on how to work hard, and he grew up doing many odd jobs to earn money as a paperboy, busboy, waiter, and more. His mother would often tell him, “Work hard, save, invest, and most of all, you can be anything you want in life as long as you’re helping other people.”

These words were a guiding principle for Brian throughout much of his life. When he entered college, her advice about helping others, as well as her example of careful financial planning throughout his youth, inspired him to become a financial advisor. He wanted to help others protect themselves from similar unexpected circumstances through smart money decisions, as his mother did.

Brian attended the Harrisburg Area Community College for two years before entering the financial industry in 1993. He continued to attend the American College of Financial Services and the College for Financial Planning during this time, and has since earned numerous certifications, including AEP®, AIF®, ChFC®, CMFC®, CRPC®, CSA®, CLTC®, and LUTCF®. Brian continues to commit himself to updating his financial education at every opportunity, and is a dedicated lifelong learner.

With over 28 years of experience in the financial industry, Brian delivers a high level of expertise to his clients in areas ranging from investing to insurance planning. Helping his clients to solve problems and seeing them successfully achieve their goals is what drives Brian in his work each day, and his honest approach allows him to be an advisor, as well as a teacher, guide, and friend to each client.

Brian spent most of his life in the area and continues to live in Camp Hill, PA, with his wife, Kim, and their son, Caelan. The mother who worked so hard to provide for him is now in Brian’s care, and Kim provides much-needed support in tending to her needs. Brian’s family is everything to him, and they motivate him to work hard and help others every single day.

Brian enjoys boating, skiing, and working out, but can equally appreciate a quiet afternoon with a good book. He loves spending time with friends and family, and taking vacations with his loved ones. He spends much of his time coaching his son’s T-ball and soccer teams, and cheering him on as both a coach and a proud dad. He is a member of FPA, NAIFA, and EPC, and an avid contributor to the American Cancer Society and Alzheimer’s Association.

Brian’s ultimate goal in his personal and professional life is to know that he helped others, took nothing for granted, and worked hard to achieve his goals.

Evan Shiley AIF®, CRPC®, FPQP™

Wealth Planning Advisor

I was born and raised in Central PA. I’ve lived in the Camp Hill area almost my entire life. Since I was young, I’ve always been obsessed with stocks and learning how their markets function. When I first found out about the idea that you can make money with money, I was hooked. I started to take Economics classes in high school. Every day after school, I used to come home and look at stocks online and watch the news on the market. I would always try to pick a stock or two that I thought would go up and then check back in on it the next day. This is what eventually lead to my choice to major in Economics and is how I knew that I wanted to work in the financial sector.I have a passion for football, and from the time I was five up until the end of my senior season of college I have played every year season. Football has taught me so many things about life and created many comparisons for me between the sport and the financial industry.  Most importantly, football has taught me that it's not about how great an individual is, but rather how good are the people that surround them. Competition brings out the best in us and pushes us to find new limits and constantly better ourselves. Competition also teaches you how to fail and allows you to learn from your faults to become even stronger. This industry is very similar to the game of football. It takes a great team of people to be successful in the financial industry. Each person must become highly skilled in their role and trust that those around them or will do the same. Together, you make a powerhouse.

Teena Worthy

Wealth Management Associate

My passion and desire to help started at a very young age…. I was born in West Palm Beach, Florida while my mom was visiting family, that was a trip!  When we returned to Pennsylvania my parents purchased their first home in Elizabethtown. Unfortunately, they later learned they were unable to have any more children. It was then they decided to start participating in foster care to help children that needed a loving home and environment. This service led to the adoption of my brother. My parents opened their home to many children in need, which led to my desire to help people in any way possible.

When I entered the workforce, I was immediately introduced to the benefit of saving for retirement. I learned about how getting started investing at an early age can make a huge difference versus waiting to get started investing later in life. I realized quickly that the financial industry was a place where I could help people achieve their goals and reach their dreams.  

I currently reside in Elizabethtown with my husband of 18 years and our 2 children, Morrigan (6) and Aidan (3). I love to spend my free time with my family or relaxing with a book. I also love to travel any chance I get. My favorite destination is anywhere in the Caribbean.

Jennifer Karr

Practice Administrator

Born and raised in Central Pennsylvania, as a child I remember watching my father go to work every day when there was 3 feet of snow or even if he was not feeling well. His strong work ethic, relentless belief in Reliability, Responsibility, and Integrity were instilled in me at a very young age. I am so thankful for all I learned from him. Over the past 13 years of my career, I put these beliefs to work in client services in the public sector and now to KCA.

Over the last several years I became interested in the financial planning industry. I explored a career change due to the constantly changing economic status and my conscious efforts to secure a financial future for myself and my family.  When the opportunity arose to work at KCA, I knew it would be a great introduction to an industry and career that would give me the opportunity to learn and grow.  

Jennifer desires to enhance her career by obtaining her Life and Health Insurance license and attending continuing education classes. When Jennifer is not working you will most likely find her at home spending time with her family and their fur kids.

Dylan Baxter

Wealth Management Associate

Dylan’s understanding of the importance of financial wellness stemmed from a young age as his family instilled in him the significance of saving for emergencies, large purchases, avoiding debt, and reducing financial stress. This resulted in his desire to study business and finance in college to eventually attain a position in the industry.

While pursuing his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a minor in Finance at Lebanon Valley College, he also played football for four years. This sport taught him lessons that will impact him long after he hangs up his cleats. Understanding the value of teamwork, discipline, perseverance, goal setting, handling success and failure, and time management are vital qualities he learned and applies in the workforce.

In January 2021, Dylan joined KCA Wealth Management as an intern and kick started his financial career whilst concluding his final semester of college. KCA recognized Dylan’s strong work ethic and discipline and, upon graduating from Lebanon Valley College as a Dean’s List scholar, invited him to join the team on a full-time basis as a Wealth Management Associate. Dylan is eager to continue to exhibit his strengths and knowledge of the industry while helping clients navigate their financial situation.

When Dylan is not in the office, he enjoys spending time with friends and family, and attending sporting events such as football and baseball. He frequently resorts to his cabin in Pittsburgh for relaxing weekends and is an active outdoor enthusiast. Additionally, Dylan is also an avid pepper genius and enjoys trying all varieties of hot & chili peppers.
