Emma Corneliussen

I’m Brandon Schneider, founder of Deliberate Wealth. After 15+ years in the financial world, I realized that true wealth management shouldn’t be shrouded in jargon or complicated, hidden fees. That’s why I started this firm: to bring honesty and simplicity back to how we plan for the future. My approach is built on a foundation of candid communication and complete transparency. I believe you deserve to know exactly what you’re paying for and why. By stripping away the complexity, I help you focus on the factors that actually matter—investing wisely, managing risk, and keeping your costs low so that more of your money works for you. But at the end of the day, money is just a tool. It exists to serve your life, not the other way around. My goal is to help you enjoy your life today while building a profound legacy that impacts your family and community for generations. I’m not here to manage portfolios in a vacuum; I’m here to partner with you. We’ll take the stress out of financial planning so you can stop worrying about the numbers and start focusing on the people and experiences that bring you joy. I strive to live out this mission daily. Balancing the joys of raising my five young children with the demands of running a business and remaining deeply active in my church and local community, I know the weight of competing priorities. I practice what I preach, ensuring that my own financial planning aligns with the things that truly matter most to me. I invite you to join me in redefining what it means to be wealthy. Let’s make intentional choices that allow you to live well now and leave a lasting legacy.
