About M.
For over 30 years, Thomas has helped clients navigate their financial journeys with confidence and clarity. In 2011, he co-founded a planning-focused RIA, combining his technology background, Georgetown MBA, and CFP® certification to create a firm built on independent, client-first advice. This entrepreneurial chapter, following nearly two decades in financial services — including seven years at Merrill Lynch — has been a defining part of his career, reflecting his commitment to guiding clients toward their goals.
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. Farther helps Thomas combine his expertise in finance, technology, and teaching to deliver a more personalized and forward-thinking experience for clients.
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 an amazing black lab.
Outside the office, he enjoys competing in Father-Son Grass Court tennis tournaments, surfing whenever the waves allow, and capturing his sons’ and their teammates; meaningful moments in tennis, lacrosse, and volleyball through his passion for amateur photography.
What Thomas does is hard to find, but it isn’t superhuman. It’s simply the result of being an expert at navigating this complex financial world and providing clarity for those who live in it. His clients are incredibly smart; they simply choose to deploy their talents and energy elsewhere. Thomas sees his role as being the professional partner clients can rely on to answer the most important questions.
Thomas is an advisor who prepares the family—not just the balance sheet. If your goal is not just to transfer wealth—but to transfer wisdom—then reach out to Thomas.
