Meet Our Team

As an advisor, Rory provides comprehensive planning to help people achieve their financial objectives with confidence. By asking insightful questions, he helps them see their wealth from a new perspective and identify what’s really important. From there, he helps them create a strategic plan to accomplish their goals. He knows that once someone has clarity about their situation and understands the power they have to improve it, they have greater peace about the future. Over time, he becomes a trusted resource and guide, helping them filter out the noise of the world and see everything through the lens of their plan.

Ultimately, Rory’s mission as an advisor is to help people achieve a sense of joy and contentment about their future. He gets to know his clients on a personal level and builds strong relationships with them, so they always have someone looking out for them, their wealth, and their family. In doing so, he removes the burden of wealth management and gives them confidence to use their resources in a way that’s meaningful to them.

Rory received his bachelor’s degree in business administration and communications from Bushnell University (formerly Northwest Christian University). He started his financial career in 1999, and since then, his practice has grown steadily through referrals from clients who’ve experienced the power of his personal and thorough approach. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP^®) and Chartered Financial Consultant^® (ChFC^®), he has dedicated time to continuing his education, and as such, he possesses a broad knowledge of various financial planning disciplines.

He is a longtime member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA), and from 2018 to 2019, he was the president of his local estate planning council.

For over 10 years, Rory has continued to play an active role in the Relief Nursery, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing abuse and neglect of children. As a board member, he secured multiple Community Impact Grants from the New York Life Foundation, and in the fall of 2021, he completed a two-year term as the organization’s president. During that time, he led their team through several policy adjustments due to COVID-19 restrictions. Rory is currently on the Board of Trustees at Bushnell University.

Rory and his wife Mandy live in Eugene, Oregon and have two sons, Clay and Emmett, and a rescue dog, Baker. Clay is settling into his career in Portland, and Emmett is enjoying school, basketball, and football. Together, they enjoy traveling in the nearby mountains to snowboard or ski, attending University of Oregon games (football and basketball), and taking trips to the beach. On a perfect weekend, Rory likes to accomplish small projects around the house, spend time with his family, hike, and fish at his parents’ house on the river.

What is the best vacation you’ve ever taken?
“I’d have to choose two—my wife and I went on a photography safari in South Africa, which was amazing. We were chased by a rhino, but we survived! We also took a family trip to Croatia to celebrate Clay’s graduation, and that was a fun time with the four of us.”

If you could eat only one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
“Pizza—all types, all styles. I consider myself a pizza variety expert; I love the wood-fired places in town, but I also love Papa’s Pizza. And we make a homemade pie that I think could be sold at a restaurant. It’s all great.”

What’s your favorite part of the week?
“Friday evening—when you’ve accomplished a lot and earned some down time. Our family is very ‘go, go, go’ during the week and we thrive on our busy schedule, but winding down together is a time I cherish.”
