“The real art of conducting consists in transitions.” Gustav Mahler
As an ensemble musician, I learned from an early age that the performing group was only as strong as their conductor. That individual had the ability to lead the entire group through the key changes, starts and finishes to achieve perfection. That’s precisely what I do for our clients at LeConte Wealth Management.

In my 20-year career, my focus has always been helping people make good choices. Whether it’s how to create a charitable giving strategy that will help a worthy non-profit for years to come after their passing, or how to pass hard-earned wealth down to the next generation in the most tax efficient manner, I’ve always been passionate about helping clients realize those possibilities. I focus on the feelings and emotions of financial decisions and to help clients not just visualize what their goals are, but how to reach them.
Kevin is a co-founder of and Managing Partner of LWM. He also serves as the Chief Compliance Officer. He creates charitable giving strategies and complex financial planning outcomes for the firm’s clients and serves as the Chief Financial Officer at LeConte.

What Yo-Yo Ma at Red Rocks, Grand Teton National Park, the World Cup in Mexico, and Purpose-Built Planning Have in Common
Finding harmony between beauty, preparation, and perspective. Some experiences stay with you long after they end.
