Biography


Our planning and investment team is comprised of John Steigerwald MBA, Jeff Gordon CFA, and Darren Koch CFP.  More information is detailed on our website www.SGKwealthadvisors.com and in our ADV. We founded our wealth management company on two common principles; a desire to provide quality financial strategies that buildand preserve client assets and a goal to deliver superior services tailored to meet client needs. Each client's financial situation, goals and timeline is unique. Some of our clients have never had a comprehensive Wealth Management Plan, others are at a crossroad in their lives and they need to refocus their portfolios towards changing goals and objectives. We apply our services to address each client’s unique needs for capital accumulation, financial security, asset distribution and preservation.
