About
Thomas has guided clients through their financial lives for more than 30 years. In 2011, he helped found a planning-focused RIA – combining his technology background, Georgetown MBA, and CFP® certification to build a firm rooted in independent, client-first advice. This entrepreneurial chapter followed nearly two decades in financial services, including seven years with Merrill Lynch, and has defined his career ever since.
Guided by the lessons of 2008, Thomas believes strongly in the importance of independence and a planning-first approach. He views money as a tool to support what matters most—educating children, protecting lifestyles, and providing stability during uncertain times—rather than as an end in itself. His work as both a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and National CFP® Instructor reflects his commitment to helping clients identify, prioritize, and achieve their most meaningful goals.
Thomas holds a BA from the University of Virginia and an MBA with highest honors (Beta Gamma Sigma) from Georgetown University. A lifelong Washingtonian and Gonzaga alumnus, he lives in Bethesda, Maryland with his wife, their three sons, and the family’s black lab. Outside the office, he enjoys playing competitive tennis with his son and capturing family and team moments through photography.
