I am the CEO and Founder of Momentum Private Wealth Management. Founded in 2019, Momentum Private Wealth is an Austin Texas based, independent fee-only wealth management firm. I have over 20 years experience working in the financial investment and planning industry. I first began my career in finance by joining one of the biggest mutual fund companies in the world in a customer service role, and as they say, it was all downhill from there. I quickly moved into more seasoned roles, and with a location change to the San Francisco Bay Area, I moved into the Private Wealth Management side of the business. It was there I found my true love for helping individuals with their wealth management and financial planning needs. Over the next 10 years I had the opportunity to work for two smaller RIA firms where I eventually decided to start my own firm here in the heart of Austin, Texas. The core focus of Momentum Private Wealth Management is to provide transparent and focused investment and financial planning services to individuals and families who are looking to demystify the world of finance. I graduated from the University of California Santa Cruz in 2004 and I obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation in August of 2011.

Helping Widowed Women Find Financial Peace _____ My name is Elliott Weir, the owner of III Financial. I’ve been working with clients like you since 2004. Come to think of it, it has been longer – before I officially started as a financial planner! Let me explain… I started my career as a technology geek, having earned a Computer Science degree from Southern Methodist University (Go Ponies!). Once I graduated I secured a great job with Ernst & Young LLP as a technology consultant to Fortune 500 companies. Then on August 20th, 1997 my life changed forever. After a brief battle with cancer, my father passed away at the age of 50. I suddenly found myself helping my mother with insurance, investments, attorneys, CPAs, and more, because my father was the one in charge of these things for the family. Why I Share This With You _____ This formative event explains a lot about who I am, about III Financial, and about what you can expect from me. I choose to work with widowed women because I want to have a meaningful and direct impact on their lives, as I did for my mother. It took me years to piece it all together into my true calling. In that time, I continued with Ernst & Young, left to earn my Master in Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business, and spent a short while at IBM Tivoli. Then the light bulb went off and I became a financial adviser in 2004.
