We’re driven by Midwestern value — community, integrity, and plain old hard work. Wherever you're in the Twin Cities or beyond, consider Blaze as your local guide in your financial journey.

Hi, I'm Scout — I'm here to help!
I’m your friendly virtual assistant as you explore Blaze. Type a question or phrase to start blazing your path!
I live in the Twin Cities suburbs, enjoy coffee, and am a dedicated Minnesota sports fan. Weekends are spent listening to a new band at a local venue or exploring a park with Cash the Dog, of course! I find purpose in helping better lives in the community.
I aim to be accurate, but always verify sources before making financial decisions.
