Don Alexander

Owner & Founder

Don is a native Oregonian who was raised in East Portland. During his first career, he served as a computer design engineer in the high-tech industry for almost four decades. It was the type of job that suited him immensely, providing him with the financial wherewithal to retire early and spend a few years out of the working arena. He has now embarked on a new career in financial planning to help employees of the high-tech industry achieve their life goals. As a fiduciary, fee-only financial planner, Don is committed to serving his clients’ best interests.

Don completed his Bachelor of Computer Science degree from the Oregon Institute of Technology on a part-time basis while working full time in the high-tech industry.

He played a major role in the first 386-based personal computer motherboard that he helped designed from the ground up. It was successfully used by leading personal computer makers of the time. Additionally, he was a key member of the design team that created the first supercomputer to reach one teraflop operational speeds. He also became an expert in the digital camera technology that was a key element in the design and marketing of mobile phones.

After losing money in the dot-com bubble crash of 2000 — and then again in the mortgage bubble of 2008 — Don decided to get some financial advice. This experience caused him to gain a deep interest in helping others avoid making the same mistakes. After that, he committed to the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^TM training track by completing the education program and passing the exam. He is now on his way to completing the process, with the remaining goal of logging enough experience to obtain the certification. Don is a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors and the Financial Planning Association, as well as an associate member of the CFP® Board. In his free time, he enjoys photography and listening to classic rock of the 70s.

Serving the Unique Needs and Goals

Of career professionals & people working in the high-tech industry.

As someone who has worked in the high-tech industry for many years (37 to be exact!) our owner and founder, Don Alexander, is well-versed in the decisions many high-tech professionals encounter throughout their careers. Financially, Don learned through personal experience, and he is now pairing that experience with his professional education to provide those in the high-tech industry with financial planning services tailored to their unique needs and goals.

When it comes to financial planning, you never want a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather a customized strategy that takes into account your history, priorities and vision for the future. With more wealth comes more opportunity, and we’re here to help make sure you take advantage of every possibility.

Our specialty working with high-tech industry employees includes clients who:

Earn a high salary, but aren’t quite considered wealthy.
Are wealthy and approaching their retirement.
Have retired and accumulated great wealth.
