Todd J. Gourno, CFP®  - Founder and President  

I spent seven years working at STRS Ohio (00'-07'). During my tenure, I heard too often the advice members were getting, which was rarely in their best interest. So, I started this firm in October 2007 (bad timing) to combine my pension knowledge with my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation.

• Happily married for twenty-plus years to a Y-town native. She is a fiery Italian that keeps me on my toes and a great mother.
• Three kids aged 13, 17, and 19. 
• Travel enthusiast.  Beaches and warm weather are great, but my favorite trip was to Italy!  Can't stand the cloudy OH winters!
• I love to eat at any Cameron Mitchell restaurant or Figlio in Grandview.
• Weekend DIY'er.  I have renovated my entire house.
  
• I have a real sweet tooth, especially for no-baked cookies.
• The glass is always half-full vs. half-empty.
• Reading and learning are my passions.  I'm reading Mindset and Deep Work in 2023.  Favorites Books - Well Being and Essentialism.
  
• I gave up watching the news about five years ago.  Best thing I ever did.
• I work out about five days a week.  Mainly weight training.  Not a fan of cardio.
