Hi, I'm David "Dave" Fowler. I’ve been in the financial industry for over 16 years, and during that time have seen how most financial firms treat people like numbers, caring more about the firm’s bottom line and meeting sales quotas then their client’s best interests, all the while using cookie-cutter solutions in an assembly line fashion (when your only tool is a hammer everything looks like a nail).
I founded High Mountain Financial (HMFC) to disrupt that paradigm. At HMFC our focus is helping our clients plan wiser, invest smarter, and live a life they love.
An outdoor enthusiast myself – I help successful people who love the outdoors plan their finances and invest their money in order to maximize and protect their wealth, so they don’t have to worry about running out of money – while continuing to live a life that inspires them.
If you are tired of hearing the same old advice from one of the countless look-a-like suit and tie clones who care more about the commission they will make than serving your needs – and instead want a relationship based on professionalism, integrity, and transparency with someone who will get to know what you and your family REALLY want out of life – and then collaborate with you to craft a plan to get you there – you’re in the right place.

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 trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
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.
