About Me

Hello! 👋 I'm Zechariah.

The story behind why I'm SO PASSIONATE about financial planning goes back to my childhood. Here it is! 👇

My parents divorced when I was 7. It was messy. We went from affluence funded by my Dad's success on Wall Street, to holes in our pants, falling apart shoes, & not knowing how we’d pay for next week's groceries. Thankfully, things stabled out eventually, but for several years I saw my (now single) Mom struggle to manage her money. She was doing her best but the expert help she needed, she couldn’t afford. At the time, I couldn't do anything but my drive to help people with their money was born.

In high school, I became fascinated with personal finance, crypto, & stocks & went on to study financial planning in college! While working at more traditional wealth management firms, I again saw people I love struggling with their finances. It was my friends & former classmates who were just starting their careers. This time, though, I was able to do something. 😎

I founded Ascent to help Gen Z & Millennials build excellent financial foundations. Today, I get the joy of helping people I love build the lives they want. Thanks for taking the time to read this! I hope to chat with you soon!
