Get to know Joshua
Joshua grew up in Reno, Nevada, with a constant curiosity and avid observance of the world around him. This curiosity sparked his understanding of wealth management, always striving to read about and refine his financial models and investment strategies. Â
Joshua’s financial journey started from the ground up like many of his clients. After learning the ins and outs of the financial world, Joshua eventually co-founded a trust company in 1999 and a financial advisory firm in 2006. Â
Leaning on the experience he gained during his financial journey, Joshua is passionate about guiding others to build, preserve, and transfer their wealth with the same care and intention that helped him succeed. Whether it’s financial planning, investment management, or tax strategies, he provides an evidence-based approach built on macroeconomic analysis and quantitative research to safeguard your legacy for the next generation.
Outside of work, Joshua is passionate about family. Living in the adventure sports capital, he has many hobbies, including exploring the outdoors. He also has extensive knowledge of the food and wine industry.
Like many of my clients, I started my journey from humble beginnings. Starting in an entry-level role, I worked my way up to co-founding a trust company in 1999 and then a financial advisory firm in 2006, driven by a growing passion for helping others achieve financial security. Becoming a financial advisor allowed me to guide people in maximizing their hard work—not just by helping them build wealth, but also by managing it wisely to help them achieve their financial goals.Â
I specialize in financial planning, investment management, and tax strategies, helping clients build and preserve wealth with confidence. I deal with a lot of concentrated positions and employ hedging strategies to mitigate risk. From ambitious young professionals to experienced executives, I am committed to guiding individuals toward achieving financial goals and laying the foundation for future generations.
I have the privilege of working with clients from all walks of life, guiding them through various stages of their financial journey. Over the years, I’ve helped many gain clarity and confidence in navigating the often complex worlds of investing, estate planning, and tax strategies.
I focus on tax planning and optimization because they are crucial aspects to consider when managing your finances. By strategizing efficient ways to minimize tax liabilities and maximize savings, my clients can plan for the future. Additionally, I also help clients with retirement planning, Investment management, and cash flow planning because they are essential for maintaining a healthy financial balance.
Using active macroeconomic quantitative and tax avoidance strategies, I help clients mitigate risk and help families achieve lasting financial independence. I have created a proprietary algorithm that helps my advisor team sift through quantitative investment data and pinpoint the most undervalued investment opportunities in the market. I use this information to decide which investments are right for our clients and make recommendations. These strategies aim to provide investment decisions that have been thoroughly analyzed and dissected to help maximize returns across the entire credit cycle.
I prioritize active management using self-made models that incorporate macroeconomic analysis and quantitative research focusing on free cash flow to provide clients with strategies that are as thoughtful as they are effective.Â
The most rewarding part of my work is seeing the long-term impact on my clients’ lives. Helping them achieve financial independence, support their families, and leave a lasting legacy is incredibly fulfilling. Knowing that I’ve played a role in their potential success drives me every day.
