About OWL Private Wealth Advisors

OWL Private Wealth Advisors was formed by Jeff Smith and Brian Thomas to serve our clients' needs above all else. Having spent nearly 20 years working at large Wall Street firms, we built our firm to make our clients the top priority, rather than the shareholders of the bank. At OWL Private Wealth Advisors, we utilize our combined 40+ years of experience to help clients simplify their otherwise difficult financial decisions.
