Aspire Capital Management

Evor and Johnny are wonderful financial advisors. They are highly experienced, capable, and most importantly they are trustworthy. They are easy to talk to and they make it a point to be accessible to their clients, which is very important when people are putting their life savings into their hands. They will answer your questions and help you get a good understanding of what they are doing with your investments. Hire them and you will learn all about retirement planning, tax consequences, and investment strategies.
Take note that Aspire is a fee-​only/​fee based wealth management firm, meaning that they do NOT take commissions from the products they get for you. This speaks to the unbiased nature of their advice, as compared to the vast majority of financial professionals that are paid through commission of the things they sell you – a disturbing practice in the field that creates a huge conflict of interest.
I respect and appreciate the transparency and integrity that Evor and Johnny display, and would recommend them to my own friends and family.

My husband and I really needed financial help after a series of setbacks. I was scared of spending even *more* money, but decided to take the plunge to get a financial adviser. We needed help. My husband and I picked Aspire in 2012 after doing an extensive evaluation process, searching online, asking for recommendations, doing phone interviews with 6 or 7 different places, and some in-​person interviews. The Aspire team was far and away the best choice for us.
Evor and Johnny are warm, friendly, non-​judgmental and understand that there are a lot of emotions behind financial decisions (there’s always a box of tissues handy!). Rather than starting with a lecture about overspending (which is what we expected), they started with some exercises to help us map out our life/​financial satisfaction and goals, they helped us review our insurance policies, our estate plan, our taxes and worked with us on our whole financial picture. They gave us a new way to think about cash flow and budgeting in a gentle, progressive way. They helped us with questions like «how much should I increase my 401k vs increase my emergency fund». They have a network of experts in college planning, insurance, long-​term care, and career advisory services, among others. We don’t have them manage our portfolio, but we do pay their annual retainer fee (well worth it).
Thanks to Aspire, we have less debt, a better plan for our future and less emotional stress about money. We are still working on spending within our means, but they have been patient with us: encouraging, thorough, solution-​focused and helping us along on the right track. During our meetings we can go from talking seriously about how to support our parent’s in their old age to laughing about working on old cars. We feel very comfortable sharing our good, bad and ugly, and they are not fazed by any of it.
I’m surprised they don’t have more reviews here, but I think most of their clientele is older and doesn’t do the Unilocal thing. I’d recommend the Aspire team to anyone looking for financial guidance to meet their life goals.

We found Aspire on the website Clark Howard suggested for fee-​only financial planners. Evor quickly responded to our emails and was able to meet us within days of our first call. What we thought would just be a quick one-​hour meet and greet turned into a two hour meeting where Evor happily answered all the questions we had and outlined his services. Many financial advisers we met with before only focused on one aspect of your finances (ex: investments) and many were unwilling to answer any questions before a contract is signed. Evor genuinely believes that everyone deserves good financial advise and he believes in educating his clients, not just making decisions for them. Perfect fit for us! Since hiring Evor and Johnny we have talked extensively about our financial goals and our personal situations. Aspire Capital is not just interested in the numbers, they’re interested in your specific goals and how we can achieve them. We love their holistic approach to financial advice. We would highly recommend Evor and Johnny to anyone interested in hiring a financial adviser!

Evor’s services are great! Read my story below:
I met Evor doing a small construction project at his home years ago. I found out what he did for a living and we ended up talking about my investments. I could tell immediatly he was on his game.
I had a hodge podge group of investments new and old both, brokerage, IRAs, Roth’s, etc. that just ended up in a box — unwatched.
Even though I dreaded changing all the accounts over, Evor made the process seamless! He filled out ALL the forms, made all the calls, gave me my tax info, all I had to do was sign the forms…
Now I have the peace that he is taking care and watching my investments. He emails or calls me when he feels we should move money from one sector to the next, sends out an informative news letter AND I now get all my investment info in one nice package that is easy to understand. To top it off the fees he charges are very resonable.
I would highly recommend his services.
