About Me

Hi, I'm Paul Caylor. Raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I learned the values of resilience and hard work from my family. My father, a high school history teacher, and my mother, who juggled roles as a mom and a secretary, greatly influenced my upbringing.

I started working with a paper route, then at a ceramic studio at 16. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Communications from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and worked in the hospitality industry during college.

My financial career began at ITT Financial Services, included roles at Community First Credit Union and Bank One, and by 1998, I became a Regional Vice President of Investments at Thrivent.

In 2001, I relocated to Colorado and transitioned into a Financial Consultant role. In 2003, I earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification.

I founded my own firm, Prudent Wealth, in 2020, specializing in working with engineers. We went virtual in 2022, and later moved to Huntsville, AL in 2023.

I reside with my wife Natalia and our two dogs, we have six children. With over 30 years in the financial industry, my career reflects dedication, integrity, and continuous learning. These values guide my approach with clients at Prudent Wealth.
