We help working families gain clarity through our Mission-over-Commission process, educating clients to pursue purposeful financial planning that aligns every decision with their legacy and vision for the future.
ArkStone Financial was founded on a simple yet powerful belief: financial stewardship is a form of legacy building. Too many hardworking families feel uncertain about their financial future, not because they lack discipline or desire—but because no one ever helped them see the bigger picture with clarity and confidence.
Through our proprietary framework, the ArkBlueprint™, we guide families step-by-step to:
• Recover wasted dollars by identifying inefficiencies and redirecting resources with purpose.
• Protect their loved ones and values through structured, faith-aligned financial planning.
• Grow their wealth intentionally, ensuring that every financial decision supports a lasting legacy.
At ArkStone, we’re not just advisors—we’re partners in your family’s mission. Whether you’re a tradesman, service member, or parent balancing life’s many demands, we exist to bring clarity, confidence, and peace of mind to your financial journey.
Rooted in integrity and guided by faith, we continue to serve families who believe their financial choices should reflect both wisdom and purpose.
MEET THE TEAM
Noah Velazquez
Founder & President
I founded ArkStone Financial with a simple conviction — that families deserve clarity and confidence when it comes to their financial future. After years of seeing how easily people can feel lost or underserved in this industry, I wanted to build something different.
As a Marine and a servant leader, I’ve learned that discipline and stewardship go hand in hand. Those same values shape the way I approach business and life. My goal is to help families make wise, faith-aligned financial decisions that protect what matters most and create a legacy that lasts.
At ArkStone, we don’t just focus on numbers — we focus on people, values, and impact. Every plan, every conversation, and every decision starts with the same foundation: helping you gain clarity for your future.
Gabriel E. Church
CEO & Co-Founder
At ArkStone Financial, I help individuals and businesses secure their future through “Faith in Finance” and a “Mission over Commission” approach. Guided by my Christian values, I focus on purposeful planning, integrity, and servant leadership.
I specialize in tax-advantaged strategies, whole life insurance, annuities, and indexed products—building financial stability today and a lasting legacy for tomorrow. My passion is to align financial decisions with what matters most to my clients, so their wealth serves not only their needs but also the generations to come.
Teddy Lee Dodson
Hi, I’m Teddy — and I believe true wealth isn’t just about numbers. It’s about clarity, stewardship, and purpose.
After years of helping hardworking families and professionals find financial peace, ArkStone Financial was founded to bring Faith back into Finance — teaching the principles the wealthy use, but in a way that honors God, family, and freedom.
My mission is simple: to help you gain clarity, build wisely, and create a Living Legacy that outlives you.
