About
The firm serves individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), small businesses, trusts, estates and qualified retirement plans, providing discretionary and non‑discretionary investment management, financial planning, sub‑adviser selection and consulting. In its most recent disclosure the firm reported approximately $32.4 million in assets under management across about 96 client relationships and charges advisory fees on an asset‑under‑management basis.
Investment decisions are implemented primarily with equities and ETFs, while bonds, options, mutual funds, private funds and structured notes are used as appropriate; the firm combines fundamental and technical analysis and may use model portfolios or third‑party sub‑advisers that it monitors and adjusts over time. The firm also incorporates financial education into client work, offering financial education and counseling and producing an educational radio/podcast program to supplement planning and outreach.
Distinctive features include a solo‑practitioner operating model managing multimillion‑dollar AUM and the principal’s ability to place non‑variable insurance and fixed annuity products through separate insurance appointments, with commissions paid outside of advisory fees—a conflict the firm discloses. The firm’s production of educational media, sponsorship‑supported programming and client education materials is also uncommon among similarly supported firms.

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
