About

Foothills Advisors, LLC provides discretionary asset management and complementary financial planning and consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) and business entities. The firm also conducts educational seminars and workshops and may engage sub‑advisors to manage all or portions of client portfolios.

Foothills builds client strategies from documented goals, time horizons, and risk tolerance and applies fundamental and technical analysis along with Monte Carlo simulation for planning and portfolio construction. The firm employs option writing (including covered calls) and may permit legacy margin borrowing in accounts, and it can allocate assets to sub‑advisors under discretionary authority—practices that are less common among peer advisory firms.

Distinctive features include an affiliation with an insurance business whereby the firm’s investment advisor representatives are licensed insurance agents and may receive commissions for insurance products, a disclosed potential conflict of interest that the firm says it mitigates through disclosures and fiduciary procedures. The brochure also notes the firm’s principal owns a rental property business and devotes a portion of their time to those activities, and portfolio management clients are offered complimentary financial plans at the start of the relationship.

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.
