About Paul Litchfield

I learned how to make and manage money when I was 8 years old. My father went to prison and left us with nothing. I started mowing lawns to help put food on the table. I was the first in my family to go to college and worked 3 jobs to make that happen.

Later on, I built my wealth management business from the ground up, cold calling and knocking on doors. I took the hard path to get to where I am at, because that was my only option. Those early experiences shaped me and how I see the wealth management profession. They instilled a level of care, awareness, and respect for money that simply can't be taught.

When I sit across from a client, I don't just see numbers on a page. I understand what money represents: security, freedom and sometimes survival. That is why I do what I do. It's ingrained in my DNA, and it gives me the ability to out care other advisors.
