About
The firm provides fee-only investment management to individual and family clients and reports approximately $1.08 million in assets under advisement across a very small client roster. It does not offer comprehensive financial planning as part of its standard services, and clients retain final authority over investment transactions.
The investment approach is fundamental and long‑term, with an emphasis on asset allocation and diversification and an explicit avoidance of futures, short selling, options, and exotic derivatives. The firm uses third‑party platform services and independent custodians for execution and reporting, and delivers advice on a non‑discretionary, advice‑only basis.
A distinctive aspect of the practice is that the firm’s principal also operates an affiliated insurance brokerage and spends a substantive portion of time on insurance activities; associated persons may receive commissions on insurance product sales, a potential conflict the brochure discloses. The principal has completed CFP coursework (but did not sit for the board exam) and maintains other sources of income such as music‑related work; the firm is a solo practice with a very small client base and recently updated its state registration in 2026.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
