The Story of Lake/Water

Lake Water Advisory started from a desire to give high-earning families ignored by traditional institutions, personalized financial advice. With over a decade of experience,  Dan had a greater vision to create a firm that was more closely aligned with his core values of transparency, fiduciary duty, integrity, trust and objectivity.

Bio

I've spent almost two decades helping families navigate the complexities of wealth management, specializing in retirement planning, estate strategies, and investments that goes beyond your traditional cookie-cutter advice. As a corporate retirement plan fiduciary, I work closely with business owners and executives to optimize their company benefits while ensuring they're maximizing every tax-advantaged opportunity available to them.

What drives me is building lasting relationships with clients who need more personalized advice—I'm here to help you protect what you've built and create a financial plan that works for you and your family.

Most of my spare time involves spending time with my wife Candice, daughter Lennon, and son Hayes. We currently reside in Lakewood Ranch, FL and love staying active and spending summer months in Skaneateles, NY.
