About
The firm serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), small businesses, trusts, estates, and qualified retirement plans, managing roughly $32.4 million for about 96 clients through a small advisory team. Its services include customized discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, selection and oversight of sub-advisers, financial planning, and consulting.
The firm’s investment approach blends technical and fundamental analysis and primarily uses equities and ETFs while also incorporating bonds, options, mutual funds, private funds, and structured notes as appropriate; portfolios can include both long- and short-term positions and are actively monitored and adjusted. Financial planning is commonly provided alongside investment management but is also available separately via ongoing fixed-fee tiers, project-based engagements, or hourly consultations, with ongoing planning clients receiving at least three review meetings per year.
Noteworthy distinctions disclosed in the brochure include the firm’s in-house educational outreach—an ongoing radio and podcast program produced from the firm’s office—and an emphasis on financial education and counseling within planning services. The brochure also discloses that some firm representatives are licensed insurance agents who may sell non-variable insurance and fixed annuities for separate commissions, a potential conflict of interest the firm identifies and discloses.

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.
By using our service, you agree to Warmer's Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement and Privacy Policy. Logos provided by Logo.dev
