Founder & Lead Advisor  ·  CFP® Professional  ·  Enrolled Agent (IRS)

Aaron founded Golden Acre Wealth Management to build a firm that reflects the values he grew up with on his family farm in rural Iowa: work hard, plan ahead, treat people with respect, and make decisions for the long term.

Starting the firm early in his career allowed him to design an advisory practice intentionally — centered on fiduciary principles, clear communication, and practical guidance that helps clients feel confident about their financial lives. Aaron works closely with each client personally, integrating financial planning, investment management, and ongoing tax strategy into one cohesive picture.

He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and an Enrolled Agent (EA) — pairing the recognized standard in financial planning with a federal tax license that authorizes him to represent clients directly before the IRS. Very few advisors hold both. Aaron graduated from Iowa State University, where he was selected as Student Marshal for his college at commencement — an academic and leadership distinction awarded to one graduating student per year.

Aaron's philosophy is simple: listen carefully, explain clearly, and focus on the decisions that matter most.

The Firm
Built with a purpose

Golden Acre Wealth Management is a fee-only, independent Registered Investment Adviser based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Those same values guide our philosophy today. A strong financial plan functions much like a healthy acre of land: it grows best when nurtured consistently over time, with clarity, responsibility, and long-term thinking.
