After seven years of in and around this industry (as a marketer, consultant, and content creator... but never an advisor) I decided to hang my shingle and start Stoneholt Wealth. We're a fee-only financial planning firm that's built exclusively for high-income millennial couples with kids (I have three kids under 5... it's a crazy time). We help our clients with career transitions, concentrated wealth, variable sales income, liquidity events, and all the little stuff in between--if you can call buying a home "little". We cover everything from income strategy to investments to tax planning to insurance review, all in the name of taking this very important responsibility off your plate, so you can focus on the stuff that makes life better.

Chris Ramsby is the principal of Cascara Financial Planning LLC in Lake Oswego, OR.

Cascara Financial Planning advises individuals and high-net-worth clients with wealth management and financial planning services that include retirement, tax, estate, business, cash-flow, and college savings planning.

Suzanne Highet is a financial advisor at Core Planning in Portland, OR, holding the CFP®, CFA®, and Series 65 credentials with 21 years of industry experience. Her prior roles include positions at The Stanich Group LLC, Highet Advisory LLC, and CTC Consulting, LLC. Outside of her advisory work, she operates Highet Advisory LLC, a business consulting service focused on supporting registered investment advisors with investment programs and portfolio management. Core Planning provides fee-based financial planning and wealth management services to individuals, retirement plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities.

Joshua W. Tschirgi, CFP®, is the Principal and Lead Wealth Advisor at True Path Capital Strategies, LLC, which he founded in 2016 after five years in the industry. Josh works with people approaching retirement or already in it, using a structured process that coordinates retirement income, investments, tax considerations, and risk management into a single plan. Much of that work happens across disciplines. Retirement decisions rarely stay in one lane — a Roth conversion is a tax question, a beneficiary designation is a legal one, and a withdrawal strategy touches both. Josh coordinates directly with clients’ CPAs and estate attorneys so the pieces get decided together rather than in sequence, and so nobody is working from a partial picture. He holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification, FINRA Series 7 and Series 66 registrations, and an Oregon life and health insurance license. Common areas of work include retirement income planning, Social Security timing, Roth conversion analysis, estate and charitable giving coordination, and long-term care planning. Clients meet with Josh by video, at their homes, or at a professional meeting space, whichever fits. His practice is based in the Portland metro area and serves clients across seventeen states. He and his wife, Melissa, are raising two children in West Linn. Outside the office he golfs, hikes, and follows the Ducks. Independent Financial Group, LLC is a dual-registered broker-dealer and SEC-registered investment adviser that provides brokerage, portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement plan services to individuals, charities, corporations, and plan sponsors. The firm offers advisory programs through its AccessPoint platform and third-party asset managers, serving a diverse client base including high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients.

Todd Caudle is a financial advisor at Executive Investment Services, LLC with 36 years of industry experience.
