About
The firm provides investment management and comprehensive financial planning to individual clients, family groups, and owner-operated small businesses, advising on retirement, tax, estate, education and insurance matters and offering seminars for groups and associations. It manages roughly $14 million in client assets across a very small number of client relationships.
The advisor typically begins with a comprehensive financial plan to identify goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, then implements portfolios using no-load, low-cost mutual funds and ETFs with a long-term orientation and periodic rebalancing. Investment decisions rely on third‑party research such as Morningstar, and the firm offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary management arrangements.
Distinctive features include a concentrated client roster relative to assets under management and the practice of providing educational seminars to outside organizations, which is less common among peers. The firm requires clients to custody assets at a single broker‑dealer and accepts the attendant services and potential conflicts, and the principal has multi‑decade experience in trust and private bank roles along with a CFP credential.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
