Hi, I'm David Harpool. I am a proud alum of the University of Akron, ‘99 – Go Zips!, and started in the financial services industry in 2000. I have been working with clients since 2007.
Professionally, I love connecting with people on a deep level. Being a financial life planner allows me to truly understand my clients core values and their deepest aspirations. It’s not by chance that the True Wealth Process encourages such a relationship.
Personally, I’m trying to be the best husband and father possible. I feel blessed to have such a wonderful relationship with my wife and our children. I just want to raise them to be the best humans they possibly can be - judging no one, accepting others for who they are, and loving life no matter what happens. No pressure!
I love spending time with my wife, Melissa (we met in Sturgis 2007), and our children, Clayton (6) and Lucilia (4). They too love the outdoors, and we often find ourselves at the beach, a brewery, kayaking, playing soccer (COYR!), or anywhere the sunshine will hit us!
On Saturday mornings, you can usually find me outside! I enjoy my yard and taking care of it. I will try to grill anything you give me on my old school, charcoal smoker and love being creative with projects too. I’m often ridiculed for the need to be within 1/18th of an inch from perfection. What can I say, your pictures will always be straight! (It’s no coincidence I am the Chief Compliance Officer at AVID).

About our Firm
If you are like most people, it's hard to find time in your busy, day-to-day life to sit down with your loved ones to discuss priorities and make decisions about your life and finances.
Most individuals and couples find themselves juggling many different needs and wants and have difficulty identifying their priorities.
AVID Planning uses a unique process that guides individuals and couples in exploring and gaining clarity on many aspects of their lives.
AS OUR CLIENT, YOU:
✔️ Are a long-term thinker who places value in the need for professional guidance and advice.
✔️ Realize that money is not the ultimate goal but is a tool to achieve what is important to you.
✔️ Understand that your financial decisions impact other facets of your life.
THAT’S WHERE WE COME IN
Established in 2013, we utilize a team-based approach to address your needs. Each of us spent plenty of time selling for big named companies and came to realize their focus was not in line with ours. So we came together to build AVID with a passion for people and getting to know them beyond their wealth.
With a variety of perspectives and personalities on your side, you can expect to receive objective recommendations that match your interests. Only you know what’s best for you, which is why we will work together to uncover your goals and work collaboratively to achieve them.
Education
The University of Akron, Bachelor of Science (BS), Corporate Finance
To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
Wealthtender exists to help people discover the most trusted and authentic financial advisors and educators in the finance community.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
