Since my beginning as a financial professional, I believed that advising is about more than just money - it's the service of helping real people find the purpose and contentment they seek from a strong financial foundation. With this client-centric approach, I spent the next 25 years seeking to build a collaborative team of professionals that embody the high standards that I felt clients deserved. From that vision, Freedom Wealth Alliance, a registered investment advisory firm, was born. The Alliance of shared talent, complimentary skills and a mission to improve people's lives, drives us every day. We are now offering to share this vision with other financial advisors who strive for excellence in their field and seek needed support from an advanced service platform. FWA is home for many area advisors who share the belief that service excellence can only be achieved by a well-coordinated, well-structured team. We work together as a family just like my grandfather, my Dad and I did 30 years ago in our family hardware store. "Together, we can solve every challenge we face individually." Kurt Rozman
