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.

After graduating with a Finance Degree from Indiana University, Steve joined PaineWebber from 1992 to 2005. He co-founded Capital Advisory Partners, LLC with Cory in September 2005.

Steve enjoys meeting new clients and collaborating together to help achieve their financial goals. He finds the best part of his job when business relationships that last over 20 years turn into lifelong friendships. He feels his strength in numbers and his calm composure makes him a trusted advisor to his clients.

In his free time, Steve enjoys attending Indiana University football games and other sporting events, trying out new restaurants and playing golf. He also loves spending time with Kacey, his wife of over 31 years and their two children Ryan and Katelyn. Steve currently serves on the board for Messiah Lutheran Church and The Lutheran Foundation.

After graduating from Indiana University in 2021 with a degree in Accounting and Business Analytics, Ryan began his professional career in public accounting, earning a CPA license along the way. Bringing a strong foundational background in tax and financial analysis to the firm, he joined Capital Advisory Partners in the fall of 2024, proudly working alongside his father, Steve. 

Ryan enjoys collaborating closely with clients to help them visualize and achieve their personal financial goals. He is fascinated by the dynamics of markets and leverages his analytical background to deliver thorough, reliable assistance to the advisors. He looks forward to cultivating deep, trust-based relationships that mirror the lifelong friendships the firm was built upon.
