Ken Armbruster

Founder | Managing Director | Wealth Advisor

Since 2013, it has been Ken’s honor to help individuals, families and business owners gain confidence and control over their finances through collaborative financial planning. Over the past several years, one of the most important lessons he has learned is that everyone’s economic and life situation is unique. That is why, as a Fiduciary, he has dedicated his business to offering a broad spectrum of solutions to ensure that every financial plan is unique to each client.

After graduating with a BS in Finance from DePaul University, he started his career as a financial analyst. After working there for 5 great years, he decided to be the beneficiary of his hard work and begin his entrepreneurial career in financial planning services.

In his spare time, he enjoys playing golf, hockey, and spending time with his wife, Erin, and twins, Mason and Mia. He strongly believes in giving back to the community in any capacity that he can, and serves as a Board Member of the Chicago Metropolitan Children’s Dyslexia Center, member of the Investment Advisory Committee for the Grand Lodge of Illinois, and Treasurer for the Scottish Rite Cathedral Association of Chicago.
