Why I built Luca Wealth

After more than two decades advising clients through investment firms, banks, and wealth platforms, I kept seeing the same gap: portfolios were managed in one room, taxes in another, and estate work somewhere else entirely. Families were paying for expertise that never quite added up to a plan. Luca Wealth exists to help close that gap — one integrated team, one coordinated strategy, one clear picture of what your retirement actually looks like.

Who I serve

I work primarily with energy-company retirees — former employees of Exxon, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Shell, and other corporate plan participants — along with high-income pre-retirees between 55 and 70, and business owners navigating tax structure, income design, and exit decisions. What ties them together is a moment: the shift from earning to drawing, when small planning choices could compound into decades of outcomes. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by these companies.

How I plan

My philosophy is straightforward: retirement should be clear, confident, and tax-efficient. Every plan I build coordinates investment strategy, lifetime income design, Roth conversion analysis, Social Security timing, and estate and risk planning — modeled year by year, not just at retirement day. Because Luca Wealth sits inside the Luca Financial family, I work shoulder-to-shoulder with our affiliated CPAs so tax strategy is built into the plan, not bolted on in April.

Credentials & background

I hold the Series 65 securities license and serve as an independent financial advisor and licensed insurance professional. Before founding Luca Wealth Management, I advised clients across market cycles at national investment firms, banks, and wealth management platforms — experience that shapes how I think about risk, sequence-of-returns, and multi-generational planning today.

Life outside the office

I live in Katy, Texas with my wife Joy and our two children, Brynlee and Brooks. We're active in our church, our schools, and the greater Katy and West Houston community. The reason I care so much about giving clients a real plan is simple — I want the families I serve to have the same freedom to be fully present with the people they love.

"Retirement confidence doesn't come from products. It comes from a plan."
