01. About Us

We chose Core Financial Partners to reflect our belief that at the core of every relationship is open communication and trust. We learn what is most important to our clients and allow that understanding to guide interactions and advice. Goals and objectives provide focus, purpose, vision, and direction for the financial planning process and personal values and attitudes shape priority placed on them.

02. Our Philosophy

Unlike most advisors, we are not seeking to grow a large client base of “high net worth families and business owners”. Like our clients, we place a value on relationships and the value they deliver far beyond a bottom line.

Our practice is small, and deliberately so. Meet our team. 

03. CFW Client Experience

We welcome you to share your expectations of a financial advisor; such as how you'd like to be communicated with and how often you'd like to meet. In return, we will gladly share our respective experience, skills and value and how we work together to help clients achieve their best life possible. Learn more about our process.

The Dow crosses 45,000. Your brain whispers: "This has to be the top." The market drops 15%. Your brain screams: "Get out before it gets worse!" Different scenarios. Same result: your brain hijacking your long-term investment strategy. If you've ever felt paralyzed by market highs or panicked during market lows, you're not an outlier. You're human.
