About Andrew Schmuhl, CFP®, ChFC®, CEPA®

Hi, I'm Andrew Schmuhl, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner. In addition to my CFP® certification, I have earned the Chartered Financial Consultant® designation. I graduated from the University of North Texas with a bachelor’s degree in Risk, Insurance, and Financial Services, with a concentration in Financial Planning.

Before transitioning to the wealth management industry, I worked in the insurance sector. After witnessing many unexpected events that can impact people’s lives, I decided to move into wealth management to help individuals and families better understand and plan for their financial futures. As a Financial Advisor, I focus on helping clients feel informed as they consider their financial plans. With the support of the GDS Wealth Management team, I work closely with clients to develop personalized financial plans aligned with their individual needs and goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am one of five children, so family get-togethers are always a fun time! I also enjoy staying active and being outdoors. I am currently working on my golf game and have played at several courses across North Texas. I also enjoy spending time at the lake. While I have visited several lakes within driving distance of the DFW area, one of my favorite spots is Pace Bend Park at Lake Travis, Texas. If you know of any other great locations, be sure to share them with me!

I’ve been so impressed with this GDS wealth management company. From day one, they made the entire experience feel personal and genuinely tailored to my needs. They take the time to listen, explain options clearly, and make sure I feel confident in every decision. It’s rare to find a team that combines deep financial expertise with such a warm, approachable style. I truly feel like they’re invested in my success, not just my portfolio. We couldn’t be more happy than to work with Tim Allin and the whole team.

My wife and I found ourselves suddenly facing the option to retire without any preplanning just before Covid hit late 2019. We were extremely fortunate to discover Glen, Robert and the GDS team.They quickly built a successful financial plan to deal with the seemingly impossible market drop that occurred as Covid began to heavily impact everyone’s lives. The GDS team’s strategies allowed for very rapid growth of our significant losses as markets recovered and we have enjoyed above average returns on our retirement portfolio since.We couldn’t be happier with the GDS team and highly recommend them to everyone looking for an outstanding investment firm to look after them!

I first met Robert Casey in 2008 before he was at GDS, and frankly before I really needed a financial advisor. Nevertheless, and even though he knew there was no business to be had, he sat with me for an hour teaching me how to read a prospectus and offering some ideas for what little assets I had at the time. It was that great experience that prompted me to hunt him down 11 years later at GDS, and I signed up the same day. Since then I’ve been working with Jordan Kast who is also an amazing GDSer, who’s been the perfect combination of friendly and professional. Together they’re doing amazing things with my financial plan. Nothing bad to say about these guys. Highly recommend!

We’ve started working with GDS this past year, and have been so impressed with their thorough approach.From the beginning, they took the time to understand our goals and concerns, and we immediately felt more comfortable with them compared to another planner we had interviewed.Their attention to detail and focus on our future has made the planning process feel clear and approachable. It’s also a great comfort knowing they’re local here in Flower Mound.

My wife and I moved from the DC area several years ago with another Raymond James office. After spending some time meeting Glenn and his team we transferred our “retirement” accounts and felt great about the decision……but we were still a little nervous on future decisions. Glenn was so patient with us and continued to make us feel part of the GDS family. We have never been happier and even though my wife moved back to Georgia, we have kept our retirement and financial decisions with Glenn, Robert and Alex. Always enjoy their communication and making us feel part of the family

My experience with GDS Wealth Management has been exceptional. They are truly customer-focused, taking the time to understand my goals, communicate consistently and clearly, and tailor strategies to my needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice. The recommendations Glen and his team provide are always grounded in data and thoughtful analysis, which gives me tremendous confidence in every decision we make together. On top of that, my portfolio has consistently outperformed the broader market under their guidance. The combination of attentive service, evidence-based planning, and strong results makes GDS Wealth Management an outstanding investment advisor. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trusted partner in managing their investments.

Jordan Kast is our dedicated financial advisor, and he explains investing in a manner that we can easily understand. He has the heart of a teacher, exactly what Dave Ramsey recommends!

Working with GDS Wealth Management has completely transformed the way I think about wealth management. From day one, their team made me feel heard, valued, and most importantly, confident about my financial future. Their attention to detail, personalized strategies, and commitment to transparency blew me away.They don’t just manage money, they build relationships and empower clients. Every recommendation is tailored, every meeting is insightful, and the results speak for themselves. Whether you’re planning for retirement, growing your portfolio, or building generational wealth, this is the team you want in your corner.And the cherry on top? The incredible client events and educational seminars they host throughout the year. Not only are they fun and engaging, but they also provide valuable insights in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It’s clear that GDS truly cares about creating a well-rounded, enriching experience for their clients, both financially and personally.If you're looking for a firm that blends deep financial expertise with integrity, genuine care, and an unmatched client experience, look no further. GDS Wealth Management is hands down the best decision I’ve made for my financial health.

We have been with GDS for nearly 5 years. We have had many financial advisors prior to this, but GDS is the only one who took the time to understand our specific needs. Annie Adkison is our advisor. I cannot imagine working with anyone else. I have referred GDS to everyone I know.

We have been with GDS Wealth Management (GDS ) for two years, and we are so grateful! The performance of our portfolio has exceeded our expectations, and the relationship aspect has been exceptional. My wife and I rest at night in peace with confidence our retirement goals are in sight. Nothing phony here, no slick talk, no BS, no pressure - just honesty, straight-forwardness, professionalism, and the feeling they really care about our goals as much as we do. They genuinely care about their clients! And the client events are spectacular.

My husband and I have been working with our advisor at GDS since August 2023. He has been incredible in answering our questions and making us feel comfortable with our retirement plan. The ability to adjust the specifics of our plan allows us to play around with different scenarios and determine what will work best for us.

I have had a wonderful experience with GDS Wealth Management. Not only have my accounts grown in the short time I've been with them, but also I have completely enjoyed the relationship I've built with my advisor, Victoria Geiger. When looking for a new financial planning firm I wanted a firm who would excel at communication. GDS and Victoria do not disappoint. They keep me well-informed and up to date at all times. I also feel comfortable asking questions at any time. I would definitely choose them again.

GDS Management is exactly what you are looking for. We were quite frustrated with our prior adviser and then we found Sebastian Carillo. Everyone at the company is wonderful - helpful, friendly, and WISE. Sebastian always takes or returns our calls and takes any question seriously. All fees, etc are completely transparent. On top of that, there is a PLAN that makes so much sense to not just achieve our goals, but even better. It is so wonderful to be worry-free about trusting someone with what we worked hard for our entire life.

I have had GDS Wealth Management as my Financial advisor since 2021.I left my previous advisor not due to dissatisfaction with my investment performance – for instance, they managed adequately during the COVID market turmoil. Rather, I left because they couldn't justify their actions when adjusting my portfolio at that critical time. It became evident that I had been placed in a generic portfolio, not tailored to my individual goals and concerns; they seemed satisfied with giving me a "close enough" match.GDS provided the personalized advice I sought from my very first meeting with them, giving commitment-free guidance during several initial meetings. Despite considering various advisory firms in 2021, none were able to match my confidence in GDS's transparent and tailored service. Over the past three years, I've consistently found satisfaction in both GDS's service quality and performance.While I'm not overly demanding, GDS has consistently supported me with prompt assistance and clarity whenever I've had questions. Being able to establish personal connections with my GDS financial planner and client associates has made them feel like an extension of my family.Although trust and confidence in your financial advisor are important, so is performance. As a relatively aggressive investor nearing retirement, I prioritize minimizing losses during downturns while capitalizing on market upswings. In this regard, my investments with GDS have weathered market fluctuations adeptly, experiencing less than 60% of the market loss during downturns and capturing over 80% of market gains during expansions.Choosing an investment advisor should be more than entrusting them with your money; it's about securing your future. I have entrusted GDS with my retirement and can envision a long and comfortable future ahead. My endorsement of GDS couldn't be stronger.

Beck and I truly appreciate the financial support wisdom of Sebastian and the team at GDS Wealth Management. It’s a different chapter in our lives and we feel confident in Sebastian and the whole team of guidance. We’ve shared their names and support with kids and friends. Normally for some reason sharing financial planners is such a hush hush. Well with Sebastian who is wiser beyond his age (ha!) I’ve got to suggest him to all when in conversation. Thank you for your blanket of security to this aging couple!

My husband and I have been using GDS for almost 15 years and have been very pleased. We've had Glen and Annie as our advisors, and both have been extremely personable and tailor investments and financial decisions based our on personal situation. They've been very helpful for financial advice and always seem to be on top of what's going on in the market. They are very proactive in providing client updates each quarter and are always happy to jump on a call or quickly respond to an email question. Their whole office has been very friendly and easy to deal with. I've recommended them to multiple friends.

The folks at GDS wealth management are fantastic. They provide through detailed portfolio statements and offer excellent advice. I never feel rushed with my portfolio manager, I'm sure I bore him to death but I'm allowed to share my thoughts about the economic and political times, historically, right now and in the future. They always discuss options and in my case where I'm preparing for retirement they have offered some great advice I didn't even think about. My last review was very enlightening and most unexpected on a positive note. Compared to the last company that managed my portfolio these guys knock it out of the park on all fronts. Keep up the good work.

We have been with GDS Wealth Management for a little over a year now, and the experience has been wonderful. Of course the price of entry is good financial performance, which they have delivered in spades. The cherry on top is the unbelievable customer service they provide. They are good people who are also very good at their jobs. If you are in the market for a wealth planner, I highly recommend you check them out.
