About Us

What's In Our Name?

Valor

Defined: Honor plus dignity. Gallant bravery and strength.

Wealth

Defined: Abundance of valuable possessions or resources.

Partners

Defined: One that shares.

Valor shouldn't only be found on the battlefield. As fiduciaries we have an obligation to protect our clients and challenge anything we feel is not in their best interest.

Wealth is more than money. We strive to enrich our client's lives by addressing the many types of wealth: Self, Relationships, Values, Money, & Knowledge.

Partners refers to everyone we impact to include staff, clients, and businesses. Together we can do great things as we build an amazing organization.

The Reason We Exist

Our clients are the reason we exist and we strive to make their experience exceptional. Valor Wealth Partners was created at the request of previous clients that wished we would support their long-term financial needs of their families. Because of those clients and the trust they bestow in us, we enter into each relationship with a deep sense of responsibility.

When designing Valor Wealth Partners it was clear there needed to be a new way to serve clients. Changes to legislation, technology, and investor behavior paved the way for a new business model that put the client at the center of the process. The traditional models for advisors are centered around what they sell and how much money they can manage.

An Interview with the Partners

He is not just an advisor. I'm not just an operational staff or an admin. These people are our families now. Like I honestly can say the clients I've met and I've worked with, I love these clients. Like I look forward to talking to them. I said to Ed, I said, it's the people, the personalities and the relationships.

Are We a Good Fit?

One of our unique aspects is that we aren't trying to work with just anyone. Our ideal client is one where we can build a long-lasting partnership based on mutual trust. The best way to do this is to make sure we are a good match form the beginning.

You will rarely see us wearing suits or speaking in complex technical terms. Instead, we create a comfortable professional atmosphere and have interactive conversations on financial topics.
