Darryl Meyers has joined Wells Fargo to lead the company's Wealth Planning Center in Minneapolis. Meyers, one of the Twin Cities' most widely known financial planning professionals, will succeed 33-year Wells Fargo veteran Ardell Gilb, 54, who is retiring next February. Gilb will continue with the company as a consultant until his retirement takes affect.

Meyers comes to Wells Fargo from U.S. Bank, where he served as vice president and managing director of Private Financial Services. Prior to that, he was managing director of business, estate and retirement planning services for Piper Jaffray Companies in Minneapolis. Before joining the financial services industry, Meyers was an attorney.

"We're fortunate to have someone with the professional stature of Darryl join our organization," said Gilb. "He's an ideal choice to lead our growing team of financial professionals who serve high-networth clients from Minnesota and across the Upper Midwest."

Meyers has degrees from the University of Minnesota, Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minn., and William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul. He has been a visiting assistant professor in taxation at William Mitchell and an adjunct professor in taxation and corporate finance at Hamline. He is also a member of the Minnesota United States District Court, U.S. Tax Court bars, and the Association for Investment Management and Research.

"I am very excited about the opportunity to get involved with such a high profile program," said Meyers. "It's hard not to be impressed with Wells Fargo's commitment of resources to serve the needs of high-net-worth clients."

Wells Fargo has Wealth Planning Centers in Minneapolis, Denver, Beverly Hills, Calif., and Salt Lake City, Utah.
