Our Team
Meet who you'll be working with
Trust and understanding are the foundations of our firm. With over 25 years of experience we currently advise on $300m+ of assets for our clients, with 1/3 of our clients now in the distribution phase of retirement. While we welcome all types of client situations, we prioritize working with clients that value a true partnership in all areas of wealth management. Our top clients are those we communicate with on an ongoing basis, about all things in life, not just their investment portfolio. While our bottom line is driven by managing investments, the WHY behind our firm is seeing each and every individual that we work with successfully live out their goals in life. The 1st inning becomes the 9th inning quickly, let’s enjoy it to the fullest.

Our Planning Process
- Investment advisory and fiduciary oversight on the investment portfolio.
- Incorporating all areas of your financial situation, including employee benefits, federal benefits, potential inheritances and other assets, debts and incomes that have a direct impact on the picture.
- Cadence of reviews is determined by the client, 1-2 times per year for those with no immediate planning areas, 3-4 times per year for those on the doorstep of a life-changing event, and 5-6 times per year for those in the last 12 months of their career.
- You will be working directly with Loren, John, and Nick, who will be a part of every review and line of communication. When necessary, we have trusted references in Medicare, Estate, Tax, Real Estate, and Lending.
- All service-related work is managed by our support staff in-house.
- We strongly encourage meeting once every 5 years with your beneficiaries, so they are aware of the long-term plan.
