Here's the final version: Kurt Brucker is a CFP® and Series 66-registered advisor with eight years of experience in financial planning. He founded Brucker Wealth in 2025 after nearly eight years at Oxygen Financial, where he worked with hundreds of clients and built a planning practice grounded in relationships, not transactions. His path to advising started with an internship doing stock research for an RIA. He enjoyed the investment side of it, but realized he was more drawn to the people than the portfolio analysis. That instinct has shaped everything since. Growing up, Kurt watched his parents navigate both success and hardship at different points in their lives. That perspective is part of what makes him effective in this seat. He understands that a financial plan has to hold up under pressure, not just favorable conditions. Brucker Wealth serves Christian couples and professionals who want a planning relationship where faith is part of the conversation. Kurt prays with clients, helps them define what faithful stewardship looks like in their specific season, and works with them to identify finish lines so they can live generously rather than just accumulate. On the investment side, portfolios are built around what clients actually believe in: broadly diversified across asset classes, with selective exposure to thematic opportunities where conviction and evidence align. Planning covers investments, taxes, estate, and insurance as one connected picture. He is based in Atlanta, Georgia, where he lives with his wife and two daughters.

My why in life...I exist to encourage and inspire the lives of others through the Art of Generosity. As a Financial Advisor at Sentara Capital, I partner with affluent families, business owners, professionals, and retirees to navigate complex financial decisions with clarity and confidence. My focus is helping clients make the transition from accumulation to distribution — and then moving intentionally toward maximizing their legacy and generosity. What sets our approach apart is the combination of active portfolio management using individual stocks and ETFs, paired with proactive tax planning strategies that keep more of what you've built working for you. After 17+ years in financial services — including roles at Wells Fargo, Truist, and Regions Bank — I made the move to the independent RIA space to operate as a true fiduciary. No quotas. No activity metrics. Just quality relationships and creative solutions built around what matters most to you. I graduated from Liberty University with a degree in Business Finance. Beyond client work, I'm passionate about the adoption community. My wife Christina and I live in Woodstock, Georgia with our 11 children. When I'm not in the office, you'll find me running, watching football, or trying not to pull a hammy playing Ultimate Frisbee with F3. (Any guesses why my F3 nickname is Myrtle? 🐢) Sentara Capital serves individual clients, pension and profit-sharing plans, and other business clients by providing comprehensive financial planning, investment consultation, and portfolio management. The firm utilizes six primary investment models combining core allocations with tactical and quantitative strategies, and it regularly offers educational workshops on financial topics.

Simon partners with successful individuals to deliver solutions across banking, credit, investments, and planning.

Before joining Bank of America Private Bank, he was an Executive Director at J.P. Morgan Private Bank.
