Carpenter and Rare are joining Stifel’s new office “in the heart of Uptown Dallas, where they will join the four other advisors we have already hired in our office this year,” according to JR Koeijmans, branch manager.

“John and Faisal are the type of people that others want to work with and will help us build upon our already strong, established culture,”  Koeijmans said in a statement.
