About Steve Witter, CFP®, CSLP®

Hi, I'm Steve Witter. I’m a proud graduate of State University of New York (SUNY) at Geneseo, where I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Economics, and the College for Financial Planning. In addition, I hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification – exemplifying my commitment to the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

I began working in financial planning as a junior in college so you could say I have been doing this my whole adult life (probably longer)! These early experiences taught me that there is a right and a wrong way to be a financial planner.

On the personal front, I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, the son of a teacher and auto industry executive.

My wife, Rebecca, and I live in Elmwood Village of downtown Buffalo with our daughters Reese, Ruthie and Raffie, and our golden retriever, Ruben.

Sports have always been a big part of my life as I played golf, baseball and basketball in high school. I still play, but baseball has turned into bar league softball.

Rebecca and I are avid bike riders (she is much better than me as she does triathlons and wins some!). A passion of both Rebecca and mine is travel so we try and go on as many trips as we can.
