Scott Glenn Bennington

Every piece of advice that I offer my clients is based on my own journey along this path. I have owned, operated and exited a successful business. I’ve sat across the table from CPAs and attorneys to craft my own financial and estate plan. My wife and I have ensured our children’s needs will be met if anything happens to us. I have a deep understanding of financial markets that comes from managing my own investments including private offerings. Most financial advisors have strong educational backgrounds and significant experience advising clients, but they have not personally experienced the situations through which they are guiding their HNW clients.
