Meet Zach
I'm glad you're here, here's a little about me.
I began my career in banking before moving to a "traditional" wealth management firm before founding Reach Strategic Wealth in 2019.
Around the same time my wife and I became foster parents, which began an extremely long and demanding process to care for our family.
When we adopted our boys in 2024 we decided to "pull the ripcord" and move our family to the coast of North Carolina to begin a brand new chapter.
I'm thrilled to get to focus my work on helping awesome families make smart choices about their money and leverage their resources for freedom.
