About
The firm provides financial planning and portfolio management primarily to individual clients and also works with trusts, employer‑sponsored retirement plans and self‑employed business retirement accounts. It manages roughly $67.3 million across about 98 client relationships and offers investment advice, retirement and pension‑related consulting, and assistance with insurance and annuity products.
Investment recommendations are tailored to each client’s objectives and risk profile, typically implemented through diversified asset allocation and discretionary management with periodic (about semiannual) reviews. Trades and account custody are effected through third‑party custodians (primarily Charles Schwab) or an affiliated broker‑dealer, and the firm maintains limited trading authority to implement agreed plans while clients retain asset custody.
This firm’s mix of roles is atypical for independent advisers: it operates as a registered representative of a broker‑dealer (AIC), holds life and disability insurance licenses and sells insurance and variable annuity products, and occasionally provides pension plan consulting when the client is the employer. It also recommends a named third‑party money manager and receives a portion of referral/advisory fees and other commissions (including 12b‑1 fees) through the broker‑dealer relationship, and the adviser holds CFP certification with long industry tenure.

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.
