Process. Team. Philosophy.

Spending life with his wife Caryn is at the top of Jeff’s priority list. Together since college, they’ve built a life centered on faith, family, and community. Their two daughters, Caitlyn and Rebekah, both graduates of Texas Tech University, have followed in their parents’ footsteps of serving others. Jeff and Caryn are also proud grandparents to their granddaughter, Mary Harper — who, by all accounts, has Jeff wrapped around her finger.

Jeff has been active in the Kerrville community for years, serving on numerous nonprofit boards, performing with local community theater, and co-launching a church with his wife in 2021. He enjoys golf, senior league softball, and spending time with family and friends.

Professionally, Jeff’s passion is helping clients discover their true financial purpose — understanding that money is a tool to achieve meaning, not merely a measure of success. He believes stewardship and strategy belong together, and he finds fulfillment in helping clients bring clarity and confidence to their financial journey.

Courtney is proud to be a Kerrville native and graduate of Tivy High School. After leaving for college, she always knew she wanted to return home — and in 2003, that dream became a reality. Shortly after moving back, she reconnected with her high school friend, Brian, who later became her husband. Together, they have one son, Cooper, who keeps them busy with baseball, stock shows, and school and church activities. Courtney is grateful to raise her family in such a caring and supportive community.

Deeply rooted in Kerrville, Courtney believes in giving back to the place that shaped her. She currently serves on the Executive Board of Kerrville First United Methodist Church, the Kerr County Stock Show Board, and the Kerrville Public School Foundation, and is also an active member of the Hal Peterson Middle School PTO. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management.

As Client Service Manager, Courtney is passionate about creating meaningful client experiences built on trust, care, and attention to detail. She views every client relationship as both a partnership and a friendship, taking pride in understanding each person’s unique goals and priorities. Her goal is to make every interaction seamless and personal, ensuring clients feel supported and confident in their financial journey.

Their two adult daughters, Kaitlyn and Kenley, are each pursuing successful careers of their own.

Outside the office, Karin values time with family and friends and appreciates the close-knit community that makes Kerrville such a special place to call home. Her warmth, professionalism, and care for others reflect the heart of Talarico and Associates, serving each client with integrity and kindness.
