About
The firm provides fee-for-service financial planning and investment advice to individuals, businesses, and trusts, describing its typical clientele as “main street” investors while also working with some high-net-worth or accredited clients. Services include portfolio management, asset allocation and investment selection, retirement and college planning, employee benefits and qualified-plan subaccount analysis, delivered through both limited-scope engagements and ongoing advisory relationships.
Its investment platform is split between a Strategic Asset Management (SAM) program — a long-term, buy-and-hold asset-allocation approach with periodic rebalancing — and an Active Management Program (AMP) that uses model portfolios and trend-focused research to reposition assets more frequently. AMP accounts commonly operate with limited discretionary authority and the firm emphasizes mutual funds and high-quality individual stocks to limit intraday execution risk, while permitting ETFs or selective leveraged bond funds in specific circumstances.
A distinctive feature disclosed in the brochure is that the firm’s principal is also a licensed insurance agent and may recommend insurance products that generate commissions, a potential conflict of interest that the firm discloses and allows clients to decline. The firm also routinely deducts advisory fees directly from custodian accounts (while remaining operationally independent of custodians such as TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab) and notes its fees can be higher than industry averages.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
