About Centurion Wealth Management

There should be a more endearing term for "client" as you are more than just people we work for. To us, you're more than a balance sheet and risk tolerance data. Our clients are people who open up and share with us their aspirations and goals, their obstacles and fears. They share so much more with us; anecdotes from their childhood, news about their growing families, stories of their travel adventures, news of their child's acceptance into their college of choice, and celebratory news of their recent promotion or business success. They also reveal their less exciting, or sometimes devastating news; being laid off at work, an unfortunate automobile accident, a pending divorce, details about a recent medical diagnosis, and the death of a spouse, parent, or loved one. Our clients entrust us with the personal aspects of their lives; and together we celebrate their victories as well as mourn their losses. Surely, there must be a more endearing term for our clients.

About Scarborough Capital Management

Scarborough Capital Management

Scarborough Capital Management was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to high quality financial advice.

In the late 1980’s, many financial firms were focused on serving the wealthy. Scarborough set out to provide something different. We wanted to offer a service that was practical for everyone, not just a small percentage of the population. So we introduced 401(k), 403(b) and Thrift Savings Plan management services to American workers in the heartland.

Soon after, we broadened our scope to offer comprehensive financial planning, so we could help clients simplify their entire financial lives.

Our evolution didn’t stop there. Several years later, we saw that our clients were busy and often didn’t have time to drive to our offices for meetings. So we were one of the first firms to offer “virtual” advisory services. This allowed us to begin serving people from coast to coast.

Fast forward to the present day…while we’ve expanded, we’ve remained a close-knit team of professional advisors with a lot of shared history. Everyone on our team shares a passion for providing practical advice so you have the best chance of reaching your goals.

Most importantly, we have adhered to our founding beliefs:

  • Financial advice must be practical. We act more like a financial coach instead of old-fashioned “stock broker”. There’s nothing we love more than helping you map out all of your financial goals….then helping you work toward them one by one!
  • Getting advice must be convenient. You’re busy, so we interact with you whichever way you prefer: in person, or by email, phone and online conference.

Thirty years later, we now oversee more than $1 billion in assets. We’re incredibly honored to serve as a trusted partner for so many individuals and families.

I help them: - Simplify their financial lives - Generate the necessary returns and income to sustain the lifestyle they desire now and in retirement - Build a legacy for the ones they love and the things they care about. What I ask in return: should my clients have a question on anything financial, I expect to be the first phone call.
