Our Team
Wesley Pritchett is a proven competitor on two of the toughest fields in America—big-time college football and Wall Street. An All-American linebacker and the leading tackler on Notre Dame’s 1988 National Championship team, Wesley built a reputation for discipline, precision, and relentless preparation—traits he carried directly into a 30+ year career advising elite families, business owners, and top-tier athletes. After playing in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and Atlanta Falcons, Wesley transitioned to Wall Street, where he built a highly specialized advisory practice in institutional fixed income, complex wealth strategy, and multi-generational planning. For three decades, he has worked inside the highest levels of finance, collaborating with traders, investment desks, real estate families, and high-net-worth clients who demand detail, structure, and results. Wesley and his team run a championship-level planning process designed to uncover opportunities, eliminate inefficiencies, and build financial systems that help prepare for taxes, markets, lawsuits, and life changes. His areas-of-focus span SLATs, ILITs, GRATs, Dynasty Trusts, Family LLC/FLP structures, Family Banks, tax-efficient insurance strategies, entity planning, NIL financial systems, and long-term legacy engineering. Wesley is the father of two Division I football players—one at Georgia Tech and one at the University of Alabama—and a third son at Salisbury School in Connecticut excelling in football and lacrosse. This gives him rare, real-time visibility into athlete households, recruiting dynamics, and the financial pressures families face in today’s evolving NIL landscape. Wesley brings one belief to every client: “Structure wins. Discipline protects. Strategy builds.”
