Biography

WHO I SERVE

As an avid outdoorsman (I love hiking/backpacking & trail running) and entrepreneur, I enjoy working with people who have an affinity for the Great Outdoors and/or are dealing with the many challenges of owing a business. With that in mind, I work with:

• Outdoor Industry Professionals
• Outdoor Enthusiasts
• Solopreneurs

If you love the outdoors, work outdoors, or work for yourself - let’s have a conversation. 

OUTSIDE OF WORK

When I'm out of the office I spend my time in the wilderness, with my wife, in a good book, or at my church.

Why is a state registration marked "Terminated"? When a firm registers with the SEC (usually after managing $100M+ AUM), it often withdraws separate state firm registrations unless required by that state. The firm can still serve clients there through its individually registered Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs).

State Registrations and Notice Filings

Listed states reflect where the advisor is authorized to serve clients under state regulations.

IAR

Don't see your state listed? The advisor may still be able to work with you under the federal De Minimis Rule, which allows up to five investment advisory clients in a state without registration. Some states, like TX, LA, NE, and NH, may still require registration or notice filing. Contact the advisor or their firm to confirm their investment advisory availability in your state.
