He serves individuals, families, and business owners, applying a unique perspective gained from working with startups and established companies. For business owners, he emphasizes integrating personal, financial, and business planning, drawing on Value Acceleration principles from the Exit Planning Institute to help owners build transferable value and prepare for eventual business transitions.
Blake earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Finance and Economics from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland. He holds FINRA Series 7, 9, 10, and 66 registrations and the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor™ (CRPC™) and Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®) designations.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through — whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly — so you can choose with confidence.
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.
