Brandon Deckard, CFP®

Rothology Specialist
11 Years professional finance experience

I became a financial advisor because I wanted to help people better understand their finances and the importance of financial planning. Many people feel stressed when it comes to money, and my goal is to ease that stress and provide a sense of relief. What I love most about my job is the opportunity to make a real impact every day. It’s incredibly rewarding to help families find answers to questions they’ve been struggling with for months or even years. The sense of accomplishment I feel when I can ease someone’s worries is unmatched. Each client has a unique story, and I’m excited to be a part of their journey toward financial security.

I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, but now call Denver, CO home and love being close to the mountains. I’ve had the privilege of working with major firms like Vanguard and Fidelity, which has allowed me to interact with thousands of families and understand what truly impacts them. These experiences have also given me the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry, and I bring that knowledge with me every day. I graduated from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Social Science, along with minors in History and Psychology. These fields of study have been incredibly valuable in my work with clients, as I use all three daily to better understand their needs and guide them toward success.

  • I enjoy riding my bike and hiking

Tyson Fuller, CFP®

I became a Certified Financial Planner™ professional because I grew up in a large family that struggled with finances and making smart financial decisions. I wanted to change that. So I gained a background in comprehensive financial planning and tax-efficient retirement strategies. I specialize in helping individuals and families evaluate opportunities to reduce lifetime taxes, including Roth conversion strategies and retirement income planning. I love helping clients simplify complex financial decisions and build clear, actionable plans that give them confidence in their long-term financial future.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Finance and am a Certified Financial Planner™ professional. I have spent more than a decade working in the financial services industry, helping individuals and families develop comprehensive financial plans focused on retirement planning, tax strategy, and long-term wealth management.

Learning about people, their experiences, and their families is very fulfilling and then applying my expertise to help people exceed their goals is extremely rewarding.

Taylor Rigler, CFP®

Rothology Specialist
15 Years professional finance experience

I’m a Certified Financial Planner™ with over 15 years of experience helping individuals, families, and business owners create clarity and confidence in their financial lives. I earned my Bachelor’s in Personal Financial Planning from Texas Tech University.From early in my career, I made a deliberate choice never to be forced to sell financial products for commissions. My philosophy is simple: the financial plan should drive the strategy, not the other way around. Over the years, I’ve advised clients at firms including, JPMorgan Chase & Co., where I served as a Complex Wealth Planning Advisor, Creative Planning as a Financial Planner, and TIAA, where I worked closely with professionals in higher education, government, and non-profit organizations. I’ve also partnered with independent firms, specializing in retirement income design and tax-efficient wealth strategies for clients preparing for or navigating retirement.What keeps me passionate about this work is the individuality of each client story. Every family, every plan, every goal is different—and solving those unique puzzles is what I love most. I’m meticulous by nature (some might say a total financial nerd), because I believe the details are where lasting value is found.When I’m not deep in a spreadsheet or strategy session, life revolves around my family. My wife, Lauren, and I have been married for over 13 years and are raising three young kids—Hudson, Remi, and Addison—in Boca Raton, Florida. Most weekends you’ll find me on a baseball or soccer field, proudly living vicariously through their latest adventures. There’s rarely a quiet moment at the Rigler house, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

  • I am a total nerd and because of the timing of my kids over the years, I could change a diaper on a cat if you asked me.
  • Married to my wife, Lauren, of 12 years and we have three kids under the age of 7, Hudson, Remi, and Addison. We live in sunny south Florida in Boca Raton. I spends most of my free time selfishly trying his best to live vicariously through his kids out on the baseball and soccer fields. Hardly a dull moment at the Rigler household.

I’ve seen firsthand how the right plan can remove stress, create opportunities, and allow families to focus on what matters most to them. My favorite part is helping clients enjoy life now while creating strategies that minimize taxes for both them and their heirs. There’s nothing more rewarding than knowing my work helps protect a lifetime of savings and allows families to pass on more to the people and causes they care about.

Marc Russell, CFP®

Senior Financial Planner
18 Years professional finance experience

I’ve been interested in finance from an early age. Growing up in Beaverton, Oregon, I opened my first investment account at 12 and spent years attending the local Nike shareholder meetings—often as the youngest voting investor in the room. That early exposure shaped how I think about ownership, discipline, and long-term decision-making.

While completing my Master’s in Financial Planning & Analytics, I initially expected to pursue a traditional analyst path. Instead, I discovered that I found greater fulfillment working directly with individuals and families—helping them reduce tax burden, evaluate complex investment strategies, and make confident, well-informed decisions.

I enjoy helping clients bring clarity and intention to increasingly complex financial lives.

I earned my degree in Economics from Brigham Young University and spent 10+ years in financial software as a Director of Implementation and Training working directly with C-level executives to apply and develop tools that support board financial decision-making at scale.

Later completed Utah Valley University’s inaugural Master’s of Financial Planning & Analytics program while working full-time, finishing the program in 15 months.

Since then I’ve worked with clients to help harmonize tax strategy, investment management, and long-term planning across different stages of wealth and responsibility.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our children—whether that’s swimming, visiting local museums, or traveling the sights together.

In 2022, my wife and I participated in a humanitarian trip to Kenya, an experience that reshaped how I think about stewardship, service, and long-term impact.

I also enjoy staying curious, spending time outdoors, and finding meaningful ways to harmonize work, family life, and service.

As a junior in high school, my racquetball team won the USA National Racquetball Championship.

I read a church youth magazine my senior year of high school and was intrigued with a girl’s photo and the answer she gave for a Q&A. She’s now my wife and we recently celebrated our 21st anniversary and are raising five children.

I recently went with my brother to Spain for the first time, just to attend a concert.

We are now enjoying life at the beach with our infant son, Leo, and our two rescue dogs.I earned my Bachelor of Science in Economics from North Carolina State University and am a Certified Financial Planner™ professional.

Over the course of my career, I have worked at several high-growth firms and industry leaders, including Vanguard, and have advised a wide range of clients, from those building wealth to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families with complex planning needs.

My career has primarily focused on retirement planning and comprehensive financial planning, with deep experience in tax strategy, Roth conversions, and long-term wealth planning. What I value most about my work is connecting with people, providing objective advice free from conflicts of interest, and empowering clients with clear data and thoughtful analysis so they can make confident, well-informed financial decisions.

  • Spending time with my family, enjoying everyday moments together.

Team Lead for Financial Planning Specialists
7 Years professional finance experience

I became a financial planner because I wanted to combine something that I am passionate about with the ability to have a positive impact on another person’s life, and realized the best place to do this was in the financial planning field given my passion for financial literacy. To me, the best part about my job would be the ending impact I have on my clients, as I have always enjoyed helping bring success into the lives of those around me.

I graduated from Purdue University with a major in Financial Counseling & Planning. Immediately after college, I spent some time in the broker dealer space assisting clients with account servicing requests at Charles Schwab, then Fidelity. After 3 years, I made my way to a local firm where I was able to hone my planning skills by supporting two different advisors as an analyst before taking on an opportunity with Fisher Investments as an investment counselor. Now, I am happy to take a holistic approach to financial planning with Q3 by serving as a financial planner.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

  • During the summer, you will most likely find me spending time somewhere on a golf course or out on a lake fishing
  • In the winter, I try my best to attend as many Chicago Blackhawks games as possible
  • I view myself as a home chef, and tend to try at least 3 new recipes per month to possibly integrate something new into what I can make.

Gonzalo Figueroa, CFP®

Financial Planning Specialist
8 Years professional finance experience

Growing up in a modest household, money was never in abundance, and often led to a lot of hardship. I knew I wanted a better financial life for myself, and decided to take initiative, getting educated in every facet of financial planning. Once I learned you can take this skill and use it to help people as well, I knew I had found my calling. I now get to do what I love, helping everyday people just like my family and I, achieve their financial freedom.

What I love most about the job is seeing the reaction on people’s faces when I give them the good news that they will be able to retire in the next year, or buy that vacation home, or pay for their grandchildren’s college. Whatever someone’s goal may be, knowing that I am making a real world impact in their life is a beautiful feeling.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

  • I am an avid Muay Thai practitioner, constantly seeking to improve my skills and learn something new.
  • I love travelling and aim to visit at least two new places a year, most recently having gone to Hawaii.
  • When I’m not training or travelling, you will probably find Fernessa and I at a new restaurant we have been wanting to try.

Garrett Leet, CFP®

I graduated with a degree in Finance from Western Kentucky University where I began working with students doing peer to peer financial counseling. After graduation, I have worked with hundreds of individuals and families in both the retirement planning and personal financial planning spaces.

Outside of work I love exploring the city of Nashville and discovering new restaurants, catching live music, and staying connected to the local community. I opened my first investment account when I was 16, I chronically overdress for almost every occasion, and I’m originally from Kentucky and spend every Thanksgiving at Churchill Downs.

Ricky Hasan

Client Experience Director
Been in sales 25+ years, launched sales consultancy 2.5 years ago around our Patented process

After 6 years as a top-performing Senior Account Executive, I realized the consistent results achieved weren’t by chance, they came from a repeatable process I refined to convert more leads into clients without the stress or pressure that often comes with sales. That realization sparked a deeper mission for me: To help others experience the same clarity and confidence through a structured approach when it comes to presenting an offer. As the creative mind behind Pipeline Conversions, I’ve dedicated my work to redefining how sales professionals connect with prospects. By replacing outdated, aggressive tactics with a modern process built on understanding and alignment. What I love the most about what I do is seeing those who chosen sales as a career clearly articulate their value, increase conversions, and ultimately expand their impact in an unintrusive way. Watching clients experience excitement, gratitude, and measurable success through something I created is a privilege I never take for granted.

With over 25 years on the front lines of sales, I have dedicated my career to mastering the art of conversions through structure, clarity, and strategy. As the found of Hasan Consulting, LLC and creator behind the brand Pipeline Conversions, our Patented innovations help simplify complex ideas, boost confidence, and close with consistency. I am a lifelong entrepreneur and former Golden Gloves boxer, who applies the same discipline and mindset I teach to, believing that success in business and life follows two guiding principles: “If you want more, you must become more” and You can’t control what you don’t take responsibility for”

What do you like to do in your spare time?

Outside of work, I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my son…volunteering as his basketball coach and staying present through every milestone. I love reading and listening to audio books, going on walks or drives to think strategically, and exploring new restaurants. A lifelong learning who is attemping to learn how to play the piano, while looking forward to star gazing at night, fued by a childhood fascination with space and what lies beyond. Family time remains an important part of my life, as does my commitment to helping the next generation recognize opportunity when it presents itself.

Craig Wear, CFP®

FOUNDER / CEO

I got into financial planning to help people make better decisions for their lives and their families. I started back when the earth was still cooling—and honestly, I had no idea what was ahead.

Fortunately, I built my career outside the big institutions by staying independent from the start. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot—mostly from clients. Some planned well. Others didn’t.

What became clear was simple: the difference wasn’t luck, it was strategy. So I made it my mission to take the principles that worked for those who got it right—and teach them to everyone else.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

  • Outside of my love for ‘Miss America’, my second love is riding adventure style motorcycles and mountain bikes.
  • I play a little golf, learning tennis and pickleball.
  • I also spend fall and winter designing big and building custom furniture – as a novice, of course.
  • We have a brilliant Australian shepherd, Bristol, enjoy riding side by side vehicles with Pam, and a pretty fair whistler (picked it up from my dad).

25 Years professional finance experience

With more than 25 years of experience in financial services, I am passionate about educating and guiding people through the complexities of their financial lives. I believe that while individuals work tirelessly to provide for themselves and their families, they often don’t have the time, interest, or expertise to manage every aspect of their financial well-being. I consider it a privilege to serve as a trusted resource, helping clients move confidently through each stage of their financial journey.

Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with respected firms such as TIAA, USAA, Raymond James, and Bank of America. Today, I specialize in delivering comprehensive financial planning for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients, including entrepreneurs and business owners. My areas of expertise include tax strategy, income planning, estate planning, and investment management—all with a focus on helping clients achieve clarity, security, and long-term success.
