About Chad Rixse, CRPS®

My deepest desire is to empower and uplift others, and it's this heartfelt mission that guides my professional life. While I didn't enter this field knowing it was my destiny, the profound impact I could have on people's lives became abundantly clear, cementing financial advising as my true calling.

One powerful example is a widowed client who was barely scraping by. Through strategic financial adjustments, we not only increased her income and optimized her taxes but also created a secure, lifetime income stream. She transitioned from a life of financial strain to one where she could truly enjoy her retirement years. Building my own business was an immense challenge, one that repeatedly tested my resolve. Yet, that perseverance has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to fully commit my patience, empathy, and listening ear to every client. My aim is for you to feel understood and inspired, knowing that my heart is genuinely invested in your well-being.

About Forefront Wealth Partners

Wealth Creation is a path paved with intention, strategy, and action. Forefront Wealth Partners is here to empower you to confidently arrive at True Wealth.

What Does Financial Freedom Look Like For You?

At the core, True Wealth creates the freedoms of time, money, and relationships to live a life you love.

✔️ Time

In life, you dedicate a significant amount of time to earning. The traditional definition of wealth is, “How long can you maintain your lifestyle without earning?” Imagine what your life could be when what you earn is not a direct product of your time.

✔️ Money

Money worries are normal. You work hard to create a good life, but often feel like you are one life event from chaos. Having a plan that helps you understand money while prioritizing stability on the path to prosperity can bring you peace of mind.

✔️ Relationships

Your loved ones are worth more than gold. Spending quality time with them may come second to supporting them. Having a strategic approach to your finances can free up the time and money to invest more time being present with the ones you love, while securing a legacy for them.

Bring True Wealth to the Forefront of Your Life

Forefront Wealth Partners is here to ensure that you thrive on your path to True Wealth. You’ll receive our very best Financial Planning, Education, and Investment Management guidance at every turn because we are passionate about your future.

Chad's willingness to go above and beyond is shown through the work and preparation he does for me. He is easy to communicate with and gives me the information I need to know promptly. Thanks to Chad I have no doubt my financial independence is being achieved.

Talk about a life saver!

Jun 29, 2025
Due to health issues, I retired before I had planned to and I wasn’t sure of my finances at all. But since I had no choice, I had to move forward. After an almost two year difficulty getting at my retirement money from and never having been with extra cash, I didn’t know how to spend money when I had it Thinking about spending my money, threw me into a panic. I had several health conditions to deal with on top of that so I’m saying that I really didn’t have the headspace or the training to lead me into the future. Chad and his associates help me with this. He took me by the hand and walked me through what I had What the future look like and the possibilities of enjoying what I had. I can’t think of how I would’ve gotten this far without Chad‘s advice and his managing of my monies. I will be forever grateful and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone to let Chad assist them in wise investing, saving and enjoying their money with confidence.

Changed my life

There was life before Chad, and life after Chad. He has single handedly made my life better by being a compassionate, practical, thoughtful, ethical, humble, generous and nuanced financial advisor. Managing money and running my own business was so scary before meeting Chad. I had heaps of financial fears, overwhelmed that I was doing everything wrong everyday. Having the chance to work with someone who is willing to be in the weeds with me and really look at my specific issues took 10000 pounds of weight off my shoulders. I’m sure I’ve referred him to dozens if not two dozen people by now. I wish for everyone to have someone who can help them navigate the challenges of money with someone has kind hearted as Chad. The world would be a much better and healthier place. I’m so grateful I met him. We all deserve to have this expertise and thought partnership without feeling so alone. Thank you Chad!!
