About the firm

Castle Coast Wealth began four decades ago on the principle that every financial decision is connected to every other one, and no single piece should be advised on in isolation. The practice operated out of La Jolla, serving a select number of families, built on fiduciary principles and guided by Christian values. In 2017, the firm achieved full independence as a registered investment adviser and expanded to a second coast, deepening its specialization in business owners and exit planning.
