Peter Castro
Financial Planner
•Money is personal, and advice you receive about it should be unique to what you value. I’ve seen how money can become a pain point in lives. As a married father of three, I see family members and friends struggle with making wise financial decisions. Decisions about money affect every area of our lives.
So, whatever stage of life you’re in, I look forward to hearing your story and seeing how we can accomplish your goals while taking the confusion and stress out of your money. Let’s connect and get started!

Jamie Rybak
Financial Planner
•In school they don’t teach us how to buy a house or calculate our taxes. Instead, we learn how to find the circumference of a circle and identify prime numbers. The finance skills we need for life decisions come from a difference source, and that’s what I’m here to provide. I sit on the same side of the table as you to help you figure out how to use your financial resources to achieve your life goals. I specialize in tax planning, but no financial topic is off the table.

Money doesn’t have to be that way. I’ll help you feel empowered with your finances and achieve your goals.
I’m a master juggler and know the struggles of managing a career, kids, and a household. My happy place is on top of a mountain with boards on my feet (plus, Disney World, of course!). Together, we’ve got this!

Jay Voigt
Financial Planner
•I love it when my participants have their “Aha” moments; whether it is finally understanding their credit score, discovering a path out of a financial mess, or learning to manage their retirement plan. I work hard to turn complicated information into understandable and usable action items.
When I am not teaching people about money, I am teaching them to ski. Much like financial planning, skiing is about mastering the basics and adapting to changes in the terrain. Schedule a time to work with me; together, we can conquer your mountain.

Director of DEI & Servicios en Español
Bilingual English/Spanish
•
Teaching abroad for 6 years in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Turkey and Ghana and marrying a Ghanaian has given me the privilege of experiencing and appreciating cultures that differ from my own. Diversity is our strength, and I believe there is far more that connects than divides us. While money matters are a common struggle everywhere, each of us has a unique story. I look forward to hearing yours and helping you identify and reach your money goals.

Tim Shirk
Financial Planner
•I am defined by my faith, love for my wife, and live vicariously through my kids.
While spending 12 years as a flight instructor and mechanic at companies with no retirement benefits, I learned how hard and confusing money can be. During that time, I also learned that I enjoy making complex subjects simple and helping others achieve their financial goals.
So, I went back to school, picked up a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) designation, and have spent over fifteen years helping people like you achieve their financial goals.
