About Me

Hi, I'm David Dodd. It's nice to meet you.

I am a follower of Christ, family man, entrepreneur, avid reader, and a very tall 5’7".

I am a huge financial planning nerd and enjoy geeking out over the details. I currently hold two financial planning designations, proudly sporting the Certified Kingdom Advisor™ and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™.

After working in a major national firm, it became clear that I would need to create my own firm to effectively serve Christians and run my business in a faith-forward way with cutting-edge technology and service.

I wanted to build a firm that started with the people, their values, and their faith. That means we don't just build our net worth here on Earth, but we seek to live a life worthy of hearing "well done, good and faithful servant" in all areas, including our finances.

A bit more about myself:

I enjoy sharpening my knowledge of financial and faith topics through active participation as a member of the Kingdom Advisors organization, XY Planning Network, NAPFA, FeeOnlyNetwork, a local Christian men's business group, a virtual mastermind group with advisors around the country, and countless colleagues with whom I stay in touch.

I live in Mt. Vernon, Indiana with my amazing wife and two beautiful children.

I wear many different hats in life, here are a few:

✔️ Sinner saved by: Grace alone | Through faith alone | In Christ alone | As revealed by Scripture alone | To the glory of God alone

✔️ #1 Dad

✔️ District 1 City Council Representative

✔️ Board Member of the Board of Public Works

✔️ Chief Bad Joke Maker

Fun Facts About Me:

🎸 I play guitar, sing, and write music

🏡 I built my own home office and live-edge walnut desk

😂 I enjoy live concerts and stand-up comedy

Founding Principles:

I believe that God owns it all, not just 10%. This is where "The Other 90" comes from in my firm name. We are stewards of God's resources, imbued with responsibility and accountability to manage those resources according to His principles and His will.

As such, we operate by these three founding principles:

1. God Owns It All
2. We're Stewards/Managers
3. Money is a Tool

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.

David has been a great advisor for our family! We trust his judgment and his knowledge of all things finance and count him as a friend. We highly recommend him to anyone who could use some skillful help with organizing their financial life.

David is an excellent advisor whose expertise has guided me and my wife through many important decisions about our financial future, and helped us get our day-to-day financial life in good order. He's given a lot of time to walking us through what's important to us—everything from getting a will in place to different insurance options to managing savings and cash flow. We're very grateful to him.
