Meet the Team

Carl Woolston, CFP®, ChFC®

Founder

I am a fiduciary who is committed to acting in the best interest of my clients. I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional and received my Chartered Financial Consultant® designation through the American College of Financial Services, which on average exceeds over 400 hours of study. I have my series 65, am a National Social Security Advisor (NSSA®) certificate holder*, and am insurance licensed. I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Western Governors University.

I’ve been married to my incredible wife Christine for 29 years. We have six children and two grandchildren (so far). I love fly fishing, coaching competitive soccer, sports, the outdoors, and exploring new trails in life and business. I have also authored several books. I served on the local charter school board at Legacy Preparatory Academy for six years, where I served as President on two different occasions.
