'Hevel' is a Hebrew word with a literal translation of 'vapor' or 'breath'. King Solomon, the richest man of his time and known to be the wisest man to ever live authored the Book Ecclesiastes in the Bible. In this book, he wrote that everything in life is meaningless or 'hevel'. The message is to not get too focused on things in life that will pass away but to focus on what matters. What matters most to me is my faith, family and helping others (Hevel Capital is my platform to do this). 

'Hevel' is a reminder to value relationships and treat others as you want to be treated. This is the foundation of Hevel Capital and what the brand stands for. We are in the business of serving others through a relationship-driven business that helps clients achieve their dreams and goals through personalized and trusted financial advice. We want each client to have peace of mind knowing that they have a trusted financial partner so that clients can spend more time focusing on what matters most to them.

My Story:

While Hevel Capital was officially formed in February 2024, it was birthed from a two-year journey of desiring something more. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit about me but chose the “safe” job every time over the course of my career. Don’t get me wrong, they were good career moves and I am grateful for each one of them as I spanned the gamut of finance experience from wealth management, stocks, and real estate. I’ve worked on a lot of neat projects over the years from directly serving clients to supporting advisors to underwriting multi-billion dollar financing deals. While there have been a lot of interesting deals and impactful experience, I’ve realized that it was missing a key ingredient and that is working more directly with individuals on things that matter. Through this epiphany and a series of closed doors, Hevel Capital was formed.

My Why:

I didn’t want to just start 'another' financial firm (or join one) but deeply pondered my why and value add to clients.

  1. Work directly with clients on things that matter. A lot of people get worked up on things in life that don’t matter and many in corporate America (hand raised) have this problem. Life is too short and I have a bit of yolo in me, hence the move to start Hevel Capital. The name ‘Hevel’ is a reminder to myself and others to focus on things in life that do matter or more precisely to NOT focus on what doesn’t matter (see here for more on choosing the name ‘Hevel’ Capital)

  1. Create flexibility and autonomy over my schedule. Simply put, I want more freedom for myself and to give the best possible life to my family (for my wife and 4-month-old Jonah who has completely changed our life for the better…I’ve found that the best things in life can also be the hardest). While my hours are longer currently, it’s a worthwhile tradeoff (at least for me) when it’s your own business that is centered around serving others

  2. Grow a brand that creates positive change. Hevel Capital was formed not just to serve households, although this is the primary focus, but to reach more individuals through brand-building efforts that create positive change in the world. We are here to serve clients and other stakeholders on financial matters that make a difference
