Valuing Relationships Over Transactions

While both of us started our careers working at a Wall Street firm, we knew we had to explore better options for our clients. We wanted an independent and entrepreneurial place to do business.

Now, our business is all about relationships - understanding what a client wants, providing individualized solutions to help them achieve it, and helping them through the emotional rollercoaster that comes with traversing the markets.

Your financial journey is a personal one, so let’s keep it that way.

After graduating from Anderson University, Cory started his journey in the financial industry at PaineWebber’s Fort Wayne office from 1993 to 2005. He then co-founded Capital Advisory Partners, LLC in September 2005 alongside his business partner Steve.

Cory has enjoyed helping his clients navigate the financial markets ever since — it’s never dull and each new day brings its own set of challenges and opportunities. He looks forward to the daily interactions with his clients and loves getting to know them on a personal level.

When he’s not helping people with their finances, Cory enjoys spending time with his wife of over 28 years, Gina, and their two daughters Karsyn and Kendal. He loves keeping weekends busy with vacations, sporting events, concerts and teeing off on the golf course.
