About Us

Thomas J. Donahue ChFC®, CFP®

President

I want to leave a legacy of helping others improve their lives. I want to be an extraordinary husband to my wife, father to my girls, CEO of my company, resource to my clients, and leader in my community and church. 

I strongly believe in giving back and using your talents to do the things that you love. In 2013, I became the first head coach for the Christ the King Catholic High School swim team. This has been a personally rewarding experience, and I was thrilled when the CTK men's and women's team won the school's first state championships.

My wife, Karen, and I have three daughters. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, hiking, and spending time with my family.
