About Me
Hi. I'm David Creekmore, President and Principal of Lifetime Financial. I'm a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and Registered Life Planner (RLP®).I have over two decades of experience managing the complex budgeting, planning, investment, and technology of major nonprofits like Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Internews, and Council on Foreign Relations.
Now I'm offering that same expertise to nonprofit professionals like you. Lifetime Financial helps those who help others.
I'm a registered investment advisor and studied finance and investing at Johns Hopkins University. I'm also a member of XY Planning Network, Fee-Only Planning Network, and the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, all of which require a strict fiduciary standard and compensation only from you, not from selling you any products or kickbacks.
The best way to see if we are a good fit for each other is to discuss your needs together. Get in touch using the Contact Me button above or click the Book Intro Call button to schedule a free 30-minute call.
I look forward to speaking with you.

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.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
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.
Report abuse. Thank you for helping us ensure reviews on Wealthtender are helpful to everyone. If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
