Richard Ward earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) certification and has a passion for helping people pursue their life goals. He shows people new ways to use their skills, experiences, and resources to help others learn, grow, and prosper. Once this new vision is established, Richard provides the financial and philanthropic guidance to work towards turning this vision into reality for them, their families, and the causes they care most about. His clients are often baby boomers who are about to retire or sell their business and are in danger of becoming disconnected, bored, and unhappy unless they find a new mission for the future. Or they may be successful pre-retirees who want to stay in the business world but who are growing stale and perhaps unhappy from the same old ways and are open to new ideas on how to do more with their business or current role. Richard is very active in his community and has supported countless non-profit organizations both locally and nationally. He has personally learned that some of the greatest rewards in life are earned while helping others grow, thrive, and prosper, and he continues to live his purpose on a daily basis by helping others.
