Winding Trail Financial is an independent, fee-only financial planning firm located in Lafayette (Boulder County), Colorado. We provide ongoing retirement planning, investment management, and tax planning advice to families locally and throughout the United States. I am a licensed Certified Public Accountant (Michigan, Colorado). While my experience in public accounting and in private industry has given me a unique perspective to financial planning, I place a high value on self-improvement. As such, I obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation. In 2013, my wife and I made the decision to move half way across the country to Boulder County, Colorado and took a position with a privately-held, multi-entity health care consulting firm where I was formerly the Chief Administrative Officer. As CAO, I oversaw the accounting and finance functions of the company as well as human resources including benefits administration. In addition to the business side, I also played an integral part in assisting with the personal finances of the business owners. Prior to moving to Colorado, I worked in public accounting servicing closely-held businesses and their owners and high net worth individuals. In our time off, you can usually find my wife and I enjoying our local trails whether it's backpacking through Rocky Mountain National Park, trail running throughout Boulder and Jefferson counties, or snowshoeing the high country. We still get back to Michigan to visit friends and family and we try to celebrate Adrienne's birthday in a new city each year. We welcomed the birth of our first child, Emmerich, in August 2018 and our daughter, Arlowe, in 2022.

Kyle Simmons, CFP®, CRPC®, worked for over 13 years in the tech industry as an engineer. When you work with him, you’re not working with a product salesman, but rather someone who works and talks like you, taking a logical and efficient approach to investment management and retirement planning. He understands the financial and intellectual benefits of being a highly compensated employee as well as the challenges and frustrations. He thinks like an engineer and has the integrity of one too. We are a fiduciary, fee-only firm, which means we're required to always put your interests ahead of our own. We don't sell products, get paid commissions, or receive referral fees. Many advisors or financial salespeople work for a brokerage or insurance company and are paid commissions or are "fee-based". We believe that our fee-only, fiduciary structure allows us to have a more objective relationship with our clients because it reduces the possible conflicts of interest.

Momentum's innovative "Money & Marriage" program aims to help committed couples work through the challenges and financial planning opportunities that come with combining (or not combining) finances as they choose to get married. In addition, Momentum provides project and ongoing financial planning to engaged/newlywed couples, young families, and individuals to help them make the most of their money. Whether it's deciphering your stock compensation, deciding what to do with your new paycheck, determining how to invest your 401(k), deciding to pay down student loans or contribute to a Roth IRA, Momentum will show you how to navigate the personal financial world. I'll help you get started on the right financial track for your future financial success. Building your financial foundation shouldn't be so hard, and I'm here to help change that. Let's work to build your financial confidence and execute your plan together. After work, I'll be running, reading, or playing with my daughters. Or possibly nerding out on biochemistry too :)

I strive to help people committed to creating a better financial life for themselves. From my firm in Erie, Colorado, I provide individually tailored advice and realistic, implementable solutions for busy individuals. Twenty-plus years working for national and regional firms focused on wealthy clients in Denver and Boulder taught me how to provide highly personalized advice and coaching with simplicity and clarity. Today I am especially passionate about helping people like me: Gen X professionals trying to navigate the myriad challenges of saving for retirement, kids, aging parents and busy households. What sets Hinman Financial Planning apart, though, is the ability to connect the art and science of financial planning. I run the numbers but also spend time exploring your values (your “Why?”) because your values and beliefs around money drive your actions. While you shouldn’t expect each meeting to turn into a session on a counselor’s couch, we do circle back from time-to-time to ensure our work together truly reflects your values and goals. A Colorado native, I earned a B.S. in Finance from CU-Boulder and am a member of several professional organizations. I also serve as Treasurer and Board Member for Mental Health Partners. When away from work, I enjoy quiet evenings at home with my husband. With two teenage boys, though, my evenings and weekends are frequently spent suffering through homework, chores and, soon, teaching my older son to drive. We are avid basketball fans (Go Buffs!) and enjoy many of the outdoor activities Colorado has to offer.
