Welcome! I’m Ron Strobel, CFP®, founder of Retire Sensibly LLC. I began my career working as a financial advisor for several large wealth management firms. The focus on commissions, hidden fees, and other unethical behavior left me dismayed and looking for a better alternative. I quit my job shortly after earning my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation and launched Retire Sensibly LLC. I help my clients: 1. Organize their finances 2. Invest intelligently 3. Feel more confident about their retirement plan I serve clients in Boise, Meridian, Caldwell, Nampa, and the surrounding areas. I offer a no-cost, no-obligation introductory appointment that begins with a 15-minute phone call followed by an in-person meeting in which we focus on establishing your family’s goals, values, and attitude toward investing. In my personal life, I enjoy working on home improvement projects, fishing from my kayak, and exploring Idaho’s outdoors.

I’m Carlos Ruiz, founder of Pivot Wealth Advisors based in Boise, Idaho. I was raised by my great-grandmother—a woman who never had a bank account and couldn’t read or write, but somehow understood money better than anyone I’ve ever met. She taught me that true wealth isn’t about chasing more—it’s about using what you have to build freedom, stability, and impact. That wisdom shapes everything I do today. Most advisors start with investments. I start with strategy. My clients are often navigating the complexities of success: higher income, higher taxes, and bigger decisions. I help cut through the noise and simplify the financial side of life—lowering your tax bill, aligning your income and investments with your values, and creating a plan that gives you options. Not just for retirement—but for right now. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and an Air Force Reservist, I bring discipline, clarity, and forward-thinking strategy to every plan—so you’re never scrambling, always prepared. I serve clients across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and virtually throughout the U.S. My planning process is practical, personal, and built for real life. Everything I do—both in my work and in my own life—is for my wife and our kids. They remind me that the most important kind of wealth isn’t measured in dollars, but in time, peace, and purpose. If that’s what you’re after, I’d love to connect.
