MEET OUR EXECUTIVE TEAM:
Jim Burch
Jim, the owner and CEO of the company, brings over 20 years of experience to the table, making him a true expert in his field. He has a remarkable ability to explain complex concepts in a simple, relatable way that anyone can understand. Known for his engaging speaking style, Jim can turn even the topics of death and taxes into a party. He holds a Marketing degree from the Woodbury School of Business at Utah Valley University. When he’s not on the phone with clients, you can find him spending time with his family or enjoying a round of golf on the scenic courses of Southern Utah.
Amy Ernstrom
is our Document Specialist. She manages the details of your documents and takes care of making it all happen around here. While attending Utah State University and studying nutrition she wisely realized she loved candy more than salads...but runs marathons and half-marathons to keep it all balanced out. After living in two different funeral homes with her mortician husband, she has first hand experience of how important estate planning is to families and is happy to be a part of a company she believes in.
Emily Stauffer
is our Customer Relations Specialist and keeps our daily schedules and workflow running smoothly. After attending Utah State University, she has devoted most of her time to raising her four amazing children while also teaching piano lessons for over 15 years. She still loves sitting down to play whenever she gets the chance. If it were up to her, she would spend most of her time gardening, reading a good book, and stopping to say hello to every dog she meets. Emily is a people person to her core and genuinely loves helping clients feel informed, supported, and cared for throughout the estate planning process. One of her favorite things about her job is working alongside Jim and helping make estate planning feel a little less intimidating and a lot more approachable.
Jed Wood
is our interaction designer and web hacker. He's convinced that Javascript will soon overtake English as the international language of business. Prior to Easy Legal Planning, he created and managed three commercial web applications which have since been acquired. He started and ended his television career as a guest on the Sally Show in 2000, after which he moved to Chicago and earned the fancy title Master of Human-Centered Design from the Institute of Design.
Heather Burch
is our talented web designer and client specialist. After earning a degree in English from Brigham Young University, she discovered a passion for marketing while working as the promotion director at CBS in Salt Lake City, Utah. A devoted wife and mom to two children, she never imagined she’d become a "dog person," but now you’ll often find her playing hide-and-seek with their adorable miniature labradoodle, Ginger. When she’s not creating family videos on her iPhone, she enjoys tending to her tomato garden or unwinding with an episode of The Great British Baking Show.
