Lamar Watson, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, founded Dream Financial Planning to serve the needs of young professionals and minorities who typically don’t have access to fee-only and fiduciary financial planning. Prior to founding Dream, Lamar worked at a wealth management firm in Reston, VA, for over a decade. At his most recent firm, he served as the lead research analyst on a team of advisors that managed approximately $2 Billion in assets. He also served as a Vice President and Financial Advisor in the Private Wealth Management division. In this role, he worked with hundreds of clients across the country to help them meet their financial goals. Lamar’s proprietary process, the DREAM Financial Planning Process™, is the culmination of 15+ years of industry insight and experience. Less than 30% of all CFPs nationwide are in their 20s and 30s. I use The DREAM Financial Planning Process ™ to help my clients save, grow, and protect their wealth. We operate as a virtual firm and offer evening and weekend meetings for our client’s convenience. Ask about our unique pricing structure that starts at $100 per month for young professionals. We don’t have asset minimums for our clients. Less than 3.5% of all the 80,000 Certified Financial Planners (CFPs) in the United States are black or Latino, according to a new survey from the CFP Board Center for Financial Planning. Put another way; there are just 2,700 black or Latino CFPs in America; 1,200 blacks and 1,500 Latinos. Born in D.C. and a lifelong resident of Virginia, Lamar is a die-hard fan of many Washington D.C. area sports teams, most notably the Washington Redskins. His love for the Redskins all began when his grandfather started taking him to games when he was just eight-years-old. Previously, Lamar served as a volunteer basketball coach for the Chantilly Youth Association and Frederick County Parks and Recreation. In his free time, Lamar enjoys working out, biking on the Washington & Old Dominion Trail, and traveling.

I founded Luminate Financial Planning because I am passionate about the power of planning and about helping you build a life based on what matters most to you. Financial planning is a mix of art and science. It’s not just about the numbers, but what the numbers mean for you. It's how you can use money as a tool to build your own great life. I will work with you to simplify and take control of your financial life. I will empower you to align your financial assets with your own values and goals. I believe that financial planning should be transparent, using a fee-only structure to minimize conflicts of interest. No commissions and no hidden fees. I personally understand the transformative power of sound financial planning and advice. Before leaving my prior career in corporate finance, and before I knew financial planning was even a profession, I built my own extensive plan for my family. We wanted to figure out if I could take time off of my career to start a family and become a stay-at-home mom while our kids were young. That basic plan (built with an Excel spreadsheet) served as a guidepost for the financial decisions my family and I have faced. My background  I have an MBA in Finance from Georgetown University and an undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Bloomsburg University. I hold the CFP® certification and passed the Series 65 Uniform Investment Adviser exam. I worked as an associate financial advisor and wealth planner for an independent broker-dealer before launching my own practice.

I work with people who once managed their own investments until their finances became more complex and they realized they wanted a seasoned advisor to guide them. I'm in Northern Virginia and meet with clients in person and virtually, locally or globally. My main goal is to help people find creative ways to accomplish what they want to do and people are often surprised they can by using our Rule72 Principles! I do this by organizing your finances, clarifying your life plans, and answering questions such as: 1. When can I make work optional? 2. How do I pay less in taxes? 3. How do I avoid losing money when the markets go down? 4. What should I do with my new wealth, inheritance, or business income? 5. How do I leave a legacy or provide tax-advantaged charitable giving? I’ve been advising high-net-worth clients—including veterans and expatriates since 2018. Based in Loudoun County, Virginia, near Washington, D.C., I enjoy working with clients both locally and globally. I am also a retired U.S. Air Force veteran and enjoy helping other veterans learn about sound financial principles practiced by Rule72. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my three grown children. In addition to travel, I visit local museums and battlefields, staying active outdoors, and supporting several charitable organizations.

As a Wealth Advisor and Director at Integrity Road Wealth Partners, Jonathan pursues a client-focused approach to financial planning and wealth management. With experience serving affluent and high-income clients, he helps people navigate complex financial situations with clarity and confidence. His areas of focus include clients with charitable giving intentions—especially those with multifaceted gifting goals; retirees entering a new phase of life; next-generation professionals inheriting wealth; business owners and executives preparing for or completing complex exits; and individuals needing cash-flow planning and disciplined portfolio management. Jonathan also serves on the firm’s investment committee. Jonathan’s interest in financial planning began with a simple observation: financial decisions often create tension not because people lack good intentions, but because they lack clarity. He has seen couples, families, and friends share the same goals yet struggle to move forward together. This understanding sparked his passion for guiding clients through prudent decision-making with unity and purpose. Today, he helps individuals and families understand their options, align decisions with their values, and pursue goals that meaningfully shape their lives. His mission is to provide clarity, direction, and strategic support so clients can move into the future with confidence and peace. Jonathan graduated magna cum laude from Liberty University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration. While working in financial services, he completed the Series 65 examination to become an Investment Advisor Representative and went on to earn his MBA from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, having completed extensive coursework in estate, tax, retirement, investment, and insurance planning, as well as a comprehensive examination and practical experience requirement. He is also a Certified Kingdom Advisor®. In previous advisory roles, Jonathan served affluent and ultra-high-net-worth families, professionals, and executives, and contributed to the training and development of new advisors. Jonathan currently serves on the Emerging Champions Board and Scholarship Committee with Kingdom Advisors.
