About Adam Schwallier

With more than 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, I have been helping to improve clients' long-term financial success and change lives for over 15 years as a fee-only advisor and planner at Schwallier Wealth Management. I offer guidance in the form of financial planning, on-going investment advice and management, and insight on all things affecting life and finances. My goal is that clients are better off for having chosen me, specifically, and I strive to become an indispensable resource in helping clients attain financial peace.

History:
After working as an advisor at Morgan Stanley and AG Edwards and becoming disenchanted with the standard of care to clients and advisors at large wirehouse firms, I struck out on my own for clients and became a fee-only advisor foregoing any commission-based business and working for my clients directly without the conflict of interest of working for a captive brokerage firm. I am constantly reading, learning, and improving my skill-set for clients. This includes proudly becoming a member of NAPFA as a fee-only CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^™ professional.

Personal:
I reside in Tallmadge Township with my wife, Val, and my two children. I enjoy spending time with my family, playing basketball as long as my body allows, and practicing yoga.
