Additional Information
After participating in a stock market simulation in the first grade, Will was hooked on the world of investments. Graduating college during the Global Financial Crisis, Will found his calling in financial planning after stints in public accounting and commodities trading. Initially working for a large, trust company in his hometown of Chicago, Will learned firsthand that institutionalized, scaled planning & investment management was not for him. After a globe-trotting sabbatical led he and his wife to Denver, Will discovered the world of independent, fee-only, fiduciary financial planning and investment management. Despite working for well-run businesses over the last five years, Will constantly dreamt of creating a space to work with family, friends, neighbors, and community members on a deeper, more personal level.
Throughout his career, Will has successfully guided countless individuals and families through various life stages, from young professionals seeking to build wealth to retirees aiming to preserve their livelihoods and enjoy a comfortable encore. He enjoys being able to live vicariously through his clients’ experiences and, to that end, he internalizes and shares heavily in his clients’ defeats and losses but loves nothing more than being able celebrate his clients’ hard-earned triumphs and victories.
