Stacie Mookas

Executive Director

Stacie grew up with a clarinet in one hand and a tenor sax in the other, imagining life in a pit orchestra on Broadway. Fate improvised. After moving from Miami to St. Petersburg, a suggestion led her to the Raymond James home office, where she started as a sales liaison, learned the brokerage world from the inside, and later trained branch teams—including the RDM advisors before they joined Hightower. She discovered she loved helping advisors help people, and she has been doing exactly that ever since.

A people-first problem solver, Stacie blends practical know-how with a calm, restorative presence—she is Reiki-certified and happily admits to a lifelong curiosity about metaphysics. Her guiding advice is simple: follow your joy, that is where the magic happens. If she could choose a superpower, it would be instant travel, mostly to be with her daughter and three grandkids (and to skip planes, trains, and ferries).

Home and community keep her busy in the best ways. Stacie plays clarinet in a local community band, photographs the nature she loves, volunteers with the local food pantry, and supports beach and ocean clean-ups. Her Chihuahua mix, Fleezel—the unofficial team mascot—greets the office with morning zoomies and naps on command.; Favorite escapes include long summer stretches on Whidbey Island with its easy rhythm and perfect fruit.

Ask Stacie what wealth means, and she will say vitality, great health, and the time to enjoy a beautiful coastal community with the people she loves. Someday, retirement looks like a beach home in Florida and another in the Northeast—music on, Red Hot Chili Peppers up in the car, and plenty of sunshine.
