About

Highwind Wealth Management is a fee-only, registered investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management, ongoing wealth management, and project-based financial planning to individual clients, including high-net-worth individuals. The firm also offers tax return preparation and related tax services as part of its practice.

The firm constructs portfolios using asset-allocation principles aligned with modern portfolio theory and employs both passive and active strategies, drawing on fundamental and technical analysis as appropriate. Investment authority is discretionary within client-imposed limits, and the adviser explicitly considers tax efficiency and can implement socially responsible investment options when requested.

What distinguishes the firm among peers is its small scale — a single-advisor practice managing roughly $23 million for a few dozen clients — combined with a principal who holds both CFP and Enrolled Agent credentials and who provides tax-preparation and IRS-representation services in-house. The firm also manages held-away assets under the same advisory relationship and has disclosed specific procedures for handling and charging for those assets, and the principal maintains a limited outside consulting role developing a wealth platform for freelancers.

Highwind Wealth Management

With 15 years of experience in wealth management and financial planning, I bring both deep technical knowledge and a practical, people-first approach to financial planning. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work in both a large financial institution and a smaller independent firm. That range of experience has shaped how I work today, blending the structure and resources of big firms with the personalized, relationship-driven approach of a boutique firm. It also gave me a clear perspective on what clients and their families truly need: a tailored approach, proactive planning, and a partner they can count on through every life stage. I started Highwind Wealth Management with this vision in mind. At Highwind Wealth Management, we integrate investment management, tax strategy, estate planning, and financial planning into a cohesive and adaptable plan. Life, markets, and goals change, and your financial plan should evolve with them. I also believe that comprehensive financial and tax planning shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for the ultra-high-net-worth; everyone deserves access to financial planning and the financial freedom that comes with it. To deliver the highest level of service, I intentionally keep a small client base. That allows me to focus deeply on each relationship and ensure that my clients and their families always receive the time and attention they deserve, as well as my family, who also receive the same focus and attention from me. Outside of work, I’m lucky to share life with my amazing wife, Lizz, and our two kids, Fallon and Charlie. When I’m not working or with my family, you’ll likely find me on a mountain bike trail, exploring the outdoors, or lost in some great music.

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.

Find your advisor

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
