About David Wattenbarger, CFP®, CAP®
I started DRW Financial as a fee-only financial advising and planning firm after working for twelve years “behind the scenes” in financial services, where I learned a great deal about how best to serve the needs of my clients.
I have found it valuable to continue learning, and earned my CFP® designation, as well as the Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy® designation, which aligns well with my desire to help clients align their financial lives with their own unique values.
My personal values revolve around carving out quality time with my family and making the work I do worthwhile and valuable to my clients.
