About Nick Covyeau, CFP®

I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™ based in Costa Mesa, California. I love financial planning and truly geek out over it. I decided to create Swell Financial because I believe a financial planning firm ultimately succeeds by putting clients first. I also firmly believe in the concept of ABUNDANCE. This notion that money is simply a tool that we are called to steward to enrich our lives and the lives of those around us. Abundance calls us to disregard the mindset of greed and scarcity and instead believe in the concept of always having enough, being generous and a blessing others. It’s my mission to help people improve their finances and turn their dreams into reality.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege and opportunity to work with just about every shape and size of financial firm out there: from big, corporate giants to small, private independent wealth firms. Some charged clients commission, some were fee-only, and some were a combination of the two. But they all had one thing in common: not enough emphasis on the clients achieving their goals.

In 2021, I launched Swell Financial to help you reimagine your relationship with money, so it’s easier to achieve your goals and feel confident about your future.

Life is complicated enough; your money doesn’t have to be.

About Sean Weaver, CFP®, CKA®, Certified Kingdom Advisor, MBA

Sean started his financial services career in 2004 with the desire to help others achieve their financial goals. In a sales-driven culture, Sean strove to put his clients’ needs above his own, as evidenced by a decision, early in his career, to move to a fee-based model that has now become the industry model. Today, Sean remains passionate about helping guide his clients through what can often seem like a tidal wave of information – knowing that without an experienced advisor, this information can overwhelm investors of all ages, but especially those preparing for or in retirement. Sean walks alongside his clients every step of the way, to ensure that each one feels well-informed, supported, and confident in their financial decisions.

Sean is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER TM, Qualified Kingdom Advisor TM. In addition to his certifications, he has been awarded the Five Star Wealth Manager award seven times. He also serves on the Business Advisory Council for Tarrant County College, a board member for Fellowship of Christian Athletes NE Tarrant County, and a Charter member of the Trophy Club Rotary Club.

Sean is a proud graduate of Texas Christian University, where he earned a degree in Political Science. While at TCU, Sean was a member of the football team and attributes his strong work ethic and team-building mindset to his time as an athlete.

About Christopher Wells, CFP®, CKA®, MS

Hello! We are Flourish Financial Planning. A group of tax-focused Financial Planners with a vision to empower Christian families, small business owners, and pastors to use their finances as a tool to live a flourishing life.

An eternal mindset and biblical perspective form the foundation of our financial beliefs. It is important to address the heart behind your relationship with money instead of trying to force behaviors or plans. Not only does this lead to better outcomes, it is also Biblically supported by Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) when He emphasizes the motives of the heart vs. outward action. See our Biblical Stewardship and Generosity Guide to see more of what we believe and how it affects our life.

In our team of financial professionals, we have the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER TM designation (CFP®), Certified Kingdom Advisor® designation, Enrolled Agent (EA), and Masters Degrees in Financial Services. We are a Fee-Only Advisory Firm, meaning we do not get paid to recommend any financial product.

About Ben Wacek, CFP®, CKA®

Do you ever worry that your financial decisions won’t get you where you want to go in life? I can give you the confidence to know that you’re on the right path.

I became a financial planner because I wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives. Once I got into the profession, though, I realized that it is hard to make a difference when you are pressured to sell products or enticed by commissions and can only work with people who are already wealthy because of asset minimums.

So, I started my own firm. I created Guide Financial Planning so that I could do financial planning my own way— serving everyone I want regardless of net worth in a fee-only, conflict-free environment, from a biblical perspective. If you want financial guidance that aligns with your Christian worldview, you’ve come to the right place.

As a Certified Financial Planner™ and Certified Kingdom Advisor®, I can create a financial plan for you, a written document that will work as a map, guiding the way as you navigate this journey called life. If you want, I can also partner together long-term, being there with you every step of the way, guiding you through new situations as they arise and helping you to stay on track. And it doesn’t matter where you live, either. With the help of modern technology, I work with people throughout the US and around the world.
