About
Tortoise Wealth Management provides fee-based investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals as well as institutional clients such as pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, and business entities. The firm reports managing about $11.2 million for roughly 56 clients and delivers discretionary portfolio management alongside separate hourly or fixed-fee financial planning engagements.
The advisor follows a tactical allocation approach intended to reduce risk and seek improved performance, implementing custom, discretionary portfolios across a broad set of instruments including equities, fixed income, mutual funds, warrants, CDs, municipal and U.S. government securities, and interests in real estate partnerships. Tortoise Wealth uses multiple analysis methods (fundamental, technical, cyclical and Modern Portfolio Theory) and may employ cash positions, sector weighting, or targeted stock selections as tactical adjustments to client portfolios.
Noteworthy for a small, founder-led advisory firm, Tortoise Wealth offers qualified retirement plan consulting with ERISA Section 3(21) fiduciary services and participant education—services that are less common among peers. The principal is also licensed as an insurance agent and may effect insurance transactions (insurance work represents under 10% of his time); the brochure discloses the resulting conflicts of interest and describes a Code of Ethics and policies intended to mitigate those conflicts.

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
