The team at Security First Financial is here to help at every stage of your journey—from developing your retirement income strategy to maintaining it throughout your retirement. If and when life throws any changes or uncertainties your way, we’ll be here.

At Security First Financial, we work hard to bring our clients financial solutions that are designed to help them achieve security and peace of mind in retirement.
Meet Jeremy Dopp
While every client has unique needs, there are some universal concerns Jeremy addresses often. “When I meet them, many of my clients are worried about running out of money in retirement or making the right move to maximize their Social Security payout,” he says. “I help them sort through their options, so they are confident in the decisions they make.”
Strategic: Jeremy also encourages clients to take a macroeconomic vs. microeconomic view of their financial future. “You have to look at the end game in order to make the decisions for today,” he says. “Every decision you make affects the other decisions in your financial world. If you don’t look at everything together, you can make microeconomic decisions that don’t play well with your other decisions. I talk with my clients’ other advisors, like attorneys and accountants, to make sure everything is working together.”
Honest: Jeremy is also quick to discourage clients from making a financial move that doesn’t line up with their retirement goals. “If someone wants to buy something that I feel is a detriment to their financial strategy, I tell them I prefer not to service it,” he explains. “I’m passionate about helping those who care as much as I do, because I put a lot of time and effort into making sure they get the best.”
Client-Focused: While specializing in retirement planning, Jeremy is on a campaign to help young families plan for the unforeseen. “Young people today are very underinsured,” he says. “I’m a big believer in the importance of protection for their kids and understanding how much they need and why.”
Wills and trusts are another area he’s highlighting for families. “Many parents don’t understand the importance of using a will to set up guardianship for their kids,” he says. “Otherwise the courts are responsible for that decision. I work with a lot of single moms who care deeply about this because they know that, without it, their kids could be in a really bad situation.”
Grounded: A resident of Queen Creek, Arizona, family has always been near and dear to Jeremy’s heart. He and his wife, Jenny, who also works in the family firm, have four daughters ranging in age from 13 to 19. Jeremy is a sports fanatic and member of ASU’s Sun Devil Club. He is also actively involved in his church. He and Jenny take their family traveling every chance they get. “We’ve traveled the world,” he says, proudly. “We take our girls everywhere we can. We all love experiencing new countries and new cultures.”
Meet Court Pitcher
In his free time, Court loves to be with his wife and children. They love to travel, especially to warm destinations. He enjoys playing, watching, and coaching all types of sports. He has a love for football and is an avid fan of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Meet Selina Shaffer
Selina brings 30 years of nursing experience to her role as an independent broker in the senior health market, giving her a unique advantage in guiding clients through the complexities of the healthcare system. With a deep understanding of both the financial aspects and the practical realities of care delivery, she is passionate about helping clients secure quality, cost-effective healthcare.
Selina’s firsthand experience in end-of-life care has deeply shaped her understanding of the true value of legacy planning. To her, legacy planning goes far beyond finances-it’s about reducing stress, preserving dignity, and allowing loved ones to focus on healing rather than scrambling to make last minute decisions. Selina feels fortunate to be a part of the Legacy Lock, LLC team, which allows her to offer this invaluable service to families in rural areas.
As Selina worked with her Medicare clients, she recognized a growing need for experienced, independent financial guidance--especially in the rural communities of the Northwest. In her search she discovered Jeremy Dopp, a fiduciary and the founder of Security First Financial, based in Mesa, Arizona. Selina chose to collaborate with Jeremy and his team because of their integrity and client-centered approach to retirement planning. Leveraging Zoom technology, Selina now facilitates secure, personalized financial consultations-both from her office and in the comfort of her clients' homes.
Selina and her husband treasure their time with family and playing with their grandchildren.
Meet Jereme Roodhouse
I/we are on a mission to empower people to become intentional about how they live their lives! My platform is the present economy we either choose to participate in or withdraw from. Since most of us are not going to withdraw from the current economy it seems very reasonable to meet people at this crossroads of what you call money and what I call currency!!!
We use the Legacy Planning process to empower people to:
- Craft and live their life's purpose
- Become and be a value creator
- Constantly increase their financial competency
- Become, be, and foster generosity in the world
We believe every individual and family should go through our Legacy Planning Process so that:
- They can have assurance their loved ones are cared for in any situation that may arise in life
- Their purpose and assets are protected according to their wishes in every instance
- Their cash flow has been optimized and they have a lifetime spending plan that accounts for inflation
- They are not paying any more than required with respect to taxes
- They can create a perpetual giving mechanism to carry out their life's purpose.
We believe that you were designed to be a value creator and not a consumer!
We believe you can use money as a tool and get on with your life's purpose!
We believe you are your greatest asset!
We believe value creators should be partnered with professionals who value purpose over product!
If you are just beginning your journey of value creation, and financial competency, and want to be a force for generosity in our world we invite you to connect with us.
If you are at a point in life where you are looking for a process to optimize what you have worked so hard to create, then we invite you to consider partnering with us so that you can craft an income that will allow you to live your life's purpose!
