Our mission is to transform progressive ideas into policy through rapid response communications, legislative action, grassroots organizing and advocacy, and partnerships with other progressive leaders throughout the country and the world.

The Center for American Progress is an independent nonpartisan policy institute that is dedicated to improving the lives of all Americans, through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action. Their aim is not just to change the conversation, but to change the country.

Total Alignment Wealth Advisors is a private and independent, fee-only wealth advisory firm. The firm was established in response to our founding clients’ need for one truly independent family advisor. Their vision was that the family advisor should be prohibited from selling financial products and should simply provide wealth advisory services that were complementary to – but not competitive with – the services already provided by their traditional advisors. Our founding clients already had good relationships with their accountants, estate planning attorneys, insurance advisors and investment managers, and they weren’t looking for yet another advisor who would threaten those relationships. At the same time, these founding clients also realized that there were certain services that were not being provided by these traditional advisors, and that it would be beneficial to have an advisor who would coordinate with the other advisors and see their entire financial picture from a different and perhaps more objective perspective. On these bases, Total Alignment Wealth Advisors was formed.
