Every day Don Chomas relishes the ability to help the people he cares about to enjoy a better life. As a Certified Financial Planner^TM professional, he believes that starting with a comprehensive, written financial plan—one that addresses both the good and not-so-good aspects of his clients' financial lives—is the foundation for helping high net worth families build upon the successes they've achieved. Don's solid educational foundation (B.A. with Honors in Finance and Accounting from Fairleigh Dickinson University), his experience across a wide variety of market conditions over nearly three decades, and a keen understanding of how to leverage the vast resources of UBS enable him to help his clients confidently make difficult decisions and weather challenging economic conditions.

In addition to serving his clients, philanthropy is a top priority for Don and his family. In 2011, Don founded Naptown barBAYq, a BBQ contest and music festival near Annapolis that benefits many local charities. He is also a Past President of the Rotary Club of Parole (Annapolis).  Currently a volunteer soccer coach, an active member in his church and the captain of his platform tennis team, Don continues to find new outlets to engage with and help the people and causes he cares about most.

Don, his wife, Molly, and their daughters, Madaline and Isabel, live in Kensington, MD. When not volunteering together or running around on a soccer field, the family enjoys spending time outdoors with their two Siberian huskies.

Driven by a desire to make a difference in people's lives, and armed with a degree in finance and economics, it's no surprise that Russell chose a career in financial services.  As a Certified Financial Planner^TM professional, Russell believes that the key to success is gaining a full understanding of everything a client hopes to accomplish—enjoying retirement, funding a loved one's education, leaving a lasting legacy, among other things.  He also believes that a thorough evaluation of both assets and liabilities is critical to building a truly comprehensive plan.

In 2015, after spending his first two years of college in the warm states of Florida and South Carolina, Peter decided to transfer to Columbia College Chicago (where he got considerably paler). The move proved to be successful though, as Peter made the Dean’s list every semester he attended at Columbia. During his time in Chicago, he also worked after school as an assistant basketball coach for a local University.

After graduating in 2017, Peter worked in the service industry while pursuing a career in the arts. It was here that he developed his skills in customer satisfaction, time management, and attention to detail. When his restaurant closed in 2020, Peter decided to apply those skills elsewhere and entered the financial industry. In the fall of 2020 he obtained his Life and Health Insurance license and began working as a successful agent. He later became a Registered Representative and is Series 6 and 63 licensed.

Peter is a life-long Bethesda resident. He enjoys sports, creative writing, trips to the beach and spending time with his friends and family.
