EWG Group Shot 1 - 2024

We bring an experienced perspective and level of understanding of the complex opportunities and challenges that come at each stage of the business life cycle.

The Entrepreneur Wealth Group- "More than wealth management. Thought partnership."

Entrepreneurs see the world differently. Where there is nothing--they envision opportunity. Entrepreneurs instinctively follow a determined path to create, innovate, and grow. Building a business requires a solid plan from its start. There are twists and turns over the life of a company, the tree must be supported wherever the branches may grow--whether that is passing a company to heirs or employees, aggressively growing a business, or ultimately planning for a sale.


As a business owner, finding the right partners, who compliment your skills and knowledge is essential. Planning and executing a solid personal financial plan is critical to enabling sound decisions for your business. At the Entrepreneur Wealth Group, we focus on the unique financial needs of business owners and executives. We help them to bridge the gap between personal and business planning. We utilize the significant resources at UBS, which are dedicated to Business Owners and Ultra-High Net Worth Families to develop smart tailored planning solutions which meet the needs of your business and your family.

Following his service, Russell enrolled at the University of Idaho and earned a B.S. in Education.  He taught economics and geography at Coeur d'Alene High School before his fascination with economics drew him to the financial services industry.  After working in the field for ten years, Russell attended the Wharton School of Business to earn his Investment Consultant designation.
