Cathy L. Nowalk
Director of Operations
I am deeply passionate about creating efficient processes, solving complex challenges, and delivering an exceptional client experience. In my role, I combine a commitment to operational excellence with a genuine dedication to helping clients work toward their financial goals. I enjoy building systems that enhance productivity, support thoughtful decision making, and create a seamless, personalized client journey. The most rewarding aspect of my work is knowing that my attention to detail, problem solving skills, and proactive approach help provide clients with confidence and peace of mind as they navigate their financial lives.
My family has been a significant source of inspiration throughout my career. Growing up with conversations about generational wealth and values centered around service, integrity, and helping others sparked my passion for the financial industry. I cherish the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with our clients by learning their stories, celebrating their milestones, and supporting them through life’s transitions. These relationships are built on trust, compassion, and a commitment to being there when our clients need us most.
A native of Montrose, Colorado, I have a deep appreciation for my roots and the natural beauty of the state. Raised with strong values of hard work, resilience, and kindness, especially from my grandparents who were ranchers, I carry those lessons into every aspect of my personal and professional life.
I share my life with my husband, Dave, our daughter, Ashley, our son, David, and our beloved Goldendoodle, Sadie. We also hold a special place in our hearts for our previous Goldendoodles, Abbie and Gracie, who brought our family years of unconditional love and joy. Outside of work, I enjoy maintaining an active lifestyle through hiking Colorado’s mountains, running and participating in races, practicing yoga, cooking healthy meals, and hosting gatherings with friends and family.
