A little about Ethos

Meet the Founder

Thomas Windom

Throughout my career, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to work for nationally ranked insurance companies, well-known national investment management firms, and small local firms.

I’m forever grateful for the incredible people and places that I’ve had the opportunity to work with in the past. And while the experiences and knowledge that I gained working for other financial institutions has been invaluable, Ethos was born out of a sense of frustration with the current landscape of traditional financial advice.

There is a new wave of financial advisors that are shaking up the way that traditional financial advice is being delivered, and I want to be a part of that movement.

I started Ethos because I want to do things different. I started Ethos because I believe that every person deserves a financial plan that is uniquely theirs, I believe that everyone deserves access to financial advice no matter what their net worth is, and I believe financial advice doesn’t have to be strenuous and difficult to understand.

“clarity and simplicity are the antidotes to complexity and uncertainty.”

~ General George Casey
