We’re excited to share that Randy Mears has recently joined EmVision. With more than 30 years of experience and a reputation for providing thoughtful, personalized financial guidance, Randy is a great addition to our team.

About Randy's Practice

Randy brings with him an advisory practice built around relationships, responsiveness, and trust. He currently serves around 150 clients and manages over $85 million in assets under advisement*. His move to EmVision was driven by a shared commitment to client care and a business model that supports a smooth transition for both his clients and his future plans. This next chapter allows Randy to gradually scale back over time while ensuring his clients continue to receive the same high level of service they’ve always known.

Randy's Background

Originally from Ashtabula, Randy graduated from Edgewood High School and earned his degree in Business Management from Kent State University—putting himself through school by working in a titanium factory. He began his career at IDS in Beachwood, then went on to launch Mears Financial in Concord in 1993. Over the years, he’s built a loyal client base throughout Ohio and several other states, including Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, and Florida.

Hobbies and Interests

Outside the office, Randal enjoys competing in dog shows, golfing, and maintaining his property. He and his partner share their home with three Swiss Mountain dogs—including a Gold Grand Champion named Sage and a lively mixed-breed rescue. He’s also an avid golfer (with six hole-in-ones to his name) and spends much of his free time tending to his property, planting wildflowers and trees, and taking care of his 65 chickens.

Looking Ahead Together

Randy is known for being attentive, proactive, and genuinely committed to helping his clients accomplish their goals. We’re excited about the value Randy brings through both his experience and the consistent care he provides to his clients. We’re proud to welcome Randy and his clients to EmVision and look forward to the future together.
