[{"type":"text","content":"The financial advisors, along with account manager Destinee Chupp, join the team at Exemplar Financial Network’s Financial Partners, Inc.\nCHARLOTTE, N.C., June 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LPL Financial LLC announced today that financial advisors Scott Hartman AIF®, CRC® and Adam Johnston have joined LPL Financial’s broker-dealer, RIA and custodial platforms. They reported having served approximately $375 million in advisory, brokerage and retirement plan assets*, and join LPL from Cetera Investment Advisors. Based in Elkhart County, Ind., Johnston and Hartman have been in the industry since 2004 and 2008, respectively, and have worked together for about 13 years.
