Embrace is happy to announce that Keith Yelle is rejoining our team after a few years’ hiatus. While away, he took a position as an investment advisor to learn more about the business and assist clients with their finances. He originally worked with Embrace as a loan officer on the direct team, and is returning as a member of the Financial Institutions Group (FIG) — our partnership program for banks and financial institutions. He’ll be helping provide financing and services to the clients of Ameriprise’s nearly 10,000 wealth management advisors, focused on building lasting relationships with advisors and mortgage clients alike. And he’s used to exceeding expectations. Keith received the highest customer survey ratings with Embrace back in 2017.

Keith grew up in Wickford, RI and currently lives in Narragansett. As an adult, he also spent several years living on Nantucket, MA and in Vail, CO. Keith earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing from Boston College and continued his graduate studies at Rhode Island College, taking classes in theater and English. And he has his own IMDB page! Determined to have his name on the Big Screen, he worked on Michael Corrente’s film Outside Providence after college.

His loving family includes his wife Jesse and daughter Phoebe, entering second grade. They also have a lively English bulldog named Emma who’s an unexpectedly avid swimmer (but apparently looks like a baby hippo in the water!) Keith and Jesse are both avid cooks, and don’t even own a microwave, preferring to prepare their own home-cooked meals. They love nature, and spend a lot of time hiking, skiing, and enjoying the beauty of New England. The perfect complement to cooking, Jesse is also a sommelier, so Keith is “forced” to taste wine on occasion. His idea of the perfect day? Every day. His motto is that each day has the potential to teach us something, if we’re open to finding it — and that spending time with family is a gift.
