About Me
'Who is
Nathan Garcia
I started my career in the Health Insurance industry in 2007.
I was excited to work with business owners and learn about finance. Since then I’ve earned my degree in Financial Planning from Virginia Tech, my CFP designation and federal and state securities licenses. I’ve held roles as the Director of Wealth Management and Managing Director for Registered Investment Advisory firms.
My proudest achievement as an advisor has been the relationships I’ve built that span years and generations. It’s a reflection of my commitment as a Fiduciary and ability to deliver value over time.
01
Professional
Licensed Insurance and Securities Professional since 2007. CFP holder since 2012.
02
Focused
I take a comprehensive view of wealth management with a goal of maximizing asset longevity
03
Serious
As a registered investment advisor my goal is to provide service that would pass critique by a board of peers if ever brought to arbitration
“What makes me different.”
The Experience of my mother becoming totally disabled while I was a Junior at Virginia Tech left an imprint on my view of financial advice. The decision I made to continue my degree rather than drop out of college to support her was a result of our lack of options. My goal is to help provide options during difficult times. Money is a tool to help reach an outcome. It’s easier when you can make a choice because you want to, not because you have to. This focus is evident my client’s financial plans and investment portfolios.

Managing Your Expectations
How We Work Together
Getting Started
Hiring a wealth manager can be one of the most valuable decisions of your life.
However, when it comes to hiring a financial advisor that you trust, it is natural to experience a range of emotions before making the decision. These emotions may include:
- Uncertainty: Initially, you may feel uncertain about whether you truly need a financial advisor or if you can handle your finances on your own.
- Anxiety: The thought of entrusting someone else with your financial matters may bring about anxiety, as you may worry about the potential risks and outcomes.
- Vulnerability: Opening up about your financial situation and goals to a stranger can make you feel vulnerable, as it requires you to share personal information.
- Relief: Despite the initial unease, once you have thoroughly researched and vetted potential advisors, you may start to feel a sense of relief knowing that you will have professional guidance.
- Confidence: Finally, as you make the decision to hire a financial advisor, a feeling of confidence may arise. This confidence stems from knowing that you have taken the necessary steps to secure expert advice and improve your financial situation.
The results of hiring a successful financial advisor can be significant:
- Expertise: A successful advisor brings extensive knowledge and expertise in various areas of finance, allowing them to provide you with tailored advice based on your specific goals and circumstances.
- Financial Planning: With the help of an advisor, you can create a comprehensive financial plan that includes budgeting, investing, retirement planning, and risk management. This plan serves as a roadmap to achieve your financial goals.
- Peace of Mind: By entrusting your financial matters to a trusted professional, you can experience peace of mind, knowing that your finances are being handled by someone who has your best interests at heart.
- Optimized Investments: A successful advisor can help you make informed investment decisions, diversify your portfolio, and potentially maximize returns while managing risk.
- Financial Education: As you work with an advisor, you have the opportunity to enhance your financial knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of how different aspects of finance impact your overall financial well-being.
In conclusion, hiring a financial advisor you trust may initially evoke uncertainty and anxiety, but as you make an informed decision, you can experience relief and confidence. The results of hiring a successful advisor can lead to expertise, comprehensive financial planning, peace of mind, optimized investments, and ongoing financial education.
