Alex is the founder of Clear Advisors, a fee-only financial planning firm based in Maryland. He founded the firm with a simple belief: investors are better served by focusing on the financial decisions they can control than by trying to predict the next market move or chase the next hot stock. Instead, Alex helps clients optimize the areas that have the greatest long-term impact on their financial lives—taxes, retirement income, investment costs, savings, and the countless planning decisions that shape financial success. Financial planning has been part of Alex's life for as long as he can remember. Having a father who spent a long career as a financial advisor gave him an early look at both the strengths and shortcomings of the traditional wealth management model. After earning a bachelor's degree in finance, becoming a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, and beginning his career advising clients on retirement, tax, and investment planning, Alex founded Clear Advisors to build the kind of firm he would want as a client: flat fees, no commissions, no asset gathering, and planning that goes far beyond just managing investments. What Alex enjoys most is uncovering planning opportunities that can make a meaningful difference in someone's financial future, whether it's identifying a Roth conversion strategy that could save substantial taxes over a lifetime, developing a retirement income plan that provides greater confidence, or helping clients make smarter financial decisions year after year. His goal is simple: to help clients keep more of what they've earned, reduce financial uncertainty, and retire with confidence.

My path to founding a wealth management firm is different than most. As a child, my dream was to become a fighter pilot. After graduating from the United States Naval Academy with a degree in Aerospace Engineering, I achieved that goal, serving on active duty for a decade. I flew the F-18E Super Hornet from aircraft carriers and deployed multiple times to the Western Pacific. After those deployments, the Navy sent me to UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School to study finance, followed by the privilege of teaching undergraduate economics at my alma mater. After transitioning from active duty, I applied the skills I honed in the cockpit and classroom—leadership, effective communication, process improvement, and strategic decision-making—to multiple entrepreneurial ventures. My career as a financial planner is a natural extension of my passion for solving problems and serving others. With a background in engineering, military flight operations, top-tier business education, and collegiate economics instruction, I bring a unique perspective to wealth management: * Tenacity – Giving up is never an option. Just as a fighter pilot must persist in the air, I am relentless in helping my clients succeed. * Calm Under Pressure – I have a proven ability to think clearly in high-stakes situations, whether in the military or financial markets. I will not panic when volatility arises. * Candor – In aviation and life, speaking up is critical when the stakes are high. I will always provide honest advice, even when it’s uncomfortable. Living near Annapolis, Maryland, I cherish time with my family and enjoy Navy football, traveling, boating, and improving my golf game. I also continue to serve as a member of the U.S. Navy Reserves. Ventus Wealth Management — After a decade in the workforce, I became increasingly frustrated by the lack of financial services that truly met my needs. I couldn’t find a firm or advisor that offered the right combination of: ☑️A transparent fee and incentive structure ☑️ A flexible, client-focused service model ☑️ Modern technology solutions ☑️ Virtual meeting capabilities ☑️ Expertise tailored to my specific situation Recognizing this gap, I launched Ventus Wealth Management to address these shortcomings. Everything we do is designed with our clients in mind. Every element of our service and business model is intentionally crafted to deliver value and provide solutions that meet your needs.
