Paul Sing Shun Sung

Aloha! I'm Skyler Stokes, CEPA®, AIF®, and founder of Aloha Wealth Partners, based right here on the coast in Cardiff, CA. With over a decade in the industry, I built my practice around a simple idea: financial advice should feel like a conversation with someone who actually has your back, not a sales pitch. I work closely with real estate professionals, high income business owners, and accredited investors, helping them think through 1031 exchanges, Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) investments, pre-IPO access, and private credit opportunities. Much of my work is planning and consulting focused, built around your goals rather than a product. Outside the office, you'll find me experimenting with wood-fired pizza, chasing down a good Calabrian wine, or just enjoying the surf, which makes this part of San Diego home. If you're looking for a partner who brings clarity, honesty, and a little bit of aloha to your financial life, I'd love to talk story.

Hi, I'm Gerardo but most people call me Jerry. I am a Marine Corps veteran, a first-generation Latino, a CFP® Professional, and the co-founder of Confianza Wealth Management. Everything I've built to this point started from a moment I will never forget. The day I left the Marines, everything changed. In uniform I had structure, purpose, camaraderie, and a consistent paycheck. The day I left, all of it vanished. What followed was a cascade of emotions I was not prepared for: depression, anxiety, and fear. I had grown up facing financial hardships, relying on food stamps and public aid, and suddenly I was on my own with no roadmap and no one who understood what that transition actually costs. That moment changed the direction of my life. I decided to become the guide I wished I had. I obtained my licenses, earned my CFP® certification and my MBA, and joined a firm to learn how to help people build real wealth. For years I helped high-net-worth clients grow their assets but kept seeing the same gap. First-gen families who earn well, save consistently, own property but have no one looking at the full picture. No one building the plan around their actual life. No one who understands that their financial reality includes family obligations that never show up on a spreadsheet and cultural expectations that no textbook ever taught. Growing up in a Latino household, the elders have the final say. I watched financial decisions get made around me that I knew were not right. But questioning them meant disrespecting the people who sacrificed everything for me. So I absorbed it. And I carried that weight into my own financial life without realizing it. I felt the firm I worked at was never built for families like mine. So in 2024, my wife Bianca and I launched Confianza - a name that means trust and confidence built specifically for the first-gen professional who has figured out how to earn well and needs a roadmap for what comes next. We work with first-gen professionals and entrepreneurs, 33 and older, who are already saving and investing but have never had a coordinated financial plan built around their real life: income, assets, family, and the future they are working toward. When I am not working with clients, you will find me outside hiking or camping with Bianca and our German Shepherd, Obi. If you are a first-gen professional or entrepreneur who earns well but has never had a plan built around your actual life, we built this for you.
