I made it. Now it's my turn to help you make it.

I believe anyone who has made it has a moral obligation to turn around and help the next person make it. I've had my "I can't believe this is my life" moment. Fireweed Capital exists so more families get theirs.

I came up through three company exits and an IPO, and along the way I watched too many hardworking people lose fortunes because their "diversified index funds" dropped 30% when markets crashed. That's not a plan, that's hope. I hold a CFP® designation, a Doctorate in Computer Science, and I've personally invested in stocks, bonds, 500+ apartment units, real estate syndications, and nine angel investments. I understand that guarding what you've built matters just as much as growing it.

I live on a lake in northern Minnesota; my clients live everywhere. As a telewealth firm, we deliver the full planning relationship over video and a secure portal, so you get an advisor who puts your family first no matter where home is.

Why we do what we do

Start with why. The rest follows.

The why

We believe anyone who has made it has a moral obligation to turn around and help the next person make it. And we believe everyone deserves to lean back one day and say, "I can't believe this is my life."

The how

You can't lean back while you're worried about money. So we remove the worry: guard what you've built first, compound it second, and put a plan around the rest so the money question is answered before you ask it.

The what

By the way, we do this through financial planning: retirement income you can't outlive, wealth building that guards the downside, and TeleWealth so you can work with us from anywhere.

Worth the Investment

Why pay more for active management?

You invest in quality tools, quality education, quality childcare -- because you know it matters when it counts. The same applies to your financial future. Quality management and downside protection have value that cheap index funds simply can't provide.

Uncorrelated returns: we aim to perform differently than the market
Consistent performance that aims to outperform benchmarks
Protection-focused: avoiding losses matters more than chasing max gains

Retirement Income

Retirement isn't a number, it's a paycheck that doesn't stop. Built on Nobel Prize-winning research, we structure three tiers of income: stable for the essentials, variable for the lifestyle, and stretch for the dreams.
