About Infinium Investment Advisors, LLC

Infinium Investment Advisors, LLC

Like many start-up businesses, Infinium Investment Advisors was born out of two driving forces: to build a better mouse trap to deliver personal financial services, and to fix the problems prevalent in the industry today. In 2008, founder Mark Starosciak had spent a decade with Merrill Lynch as a financial advisor to dozens of families. A little thing called the Great Recession came along and brought down Wall Street giants such as Bear Sterns, Lehmann Brothers, and Merrill Lynch (until Bank of America saved them). Although the large Wall Street firms had years of history and success behind them, their purpose had slowly been lost to the endless pursuit of fees and bottom-line financial results. The legacy of "Firm first, client second," that got those stalwarts into trouble still exists. The recent examples of Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, and others remind us that there is plenty of room for objective and unbiased financial advice in a sea of just the opposite. We invite you to learn more about us and our mission to deliver valuable, low-cost financial advice to Technology investors, executives & entrepreneurs.

I am the President & Wealth Advisor at Everest Wealth Advisors. After graduating from the University of Arkansas, I began a career in corporate accounting, and transitioned into financial advisory in 2002 out of a desire to generate a positive impact for people in my community. My motivation is derived from watching my clients evolve and become empowered by financial freedom as a result of the advice and guidance I have given them. We like to call our clients family, as they truly are to me. This is why I have such a drive to help them reach and maintain their goals. In my free time, you will find me spending quality time with my wife, Christine, by giving back to the community via various charity work. Other times, us traveling, fly-fishing, cheering on the Broncos and the Arkansas Razorbacks, or playing with our lovable Labrador, Jack.

About Peak Financial Management

Peak Financial Management

At Peak Financial, we know you want to be a faithful follower of Christ, and something you care about deeply is managing your wealth in ways that follow His teachings. But traditional financial planning doesn't help you make decisions that reflect your Christian faith. The temptations of wealth are very real, and it's easy to lose sight of Jesus along the way. You find yourself trapped in a crossroads, torn between the ways of the world and the ways of the Kingdom of God. We believe every Christian deserves to learn how to manage their wealth in ways that honor God. We know you take your role as a disciple of Jesus seriously. That's why Peak Financial is a place where you can talk about faith and finance at the same time. We are your partners in biblically-based investments and financial planning. Our comprehensive services provide everything you need in one place, and our team of Christian Financial Advisors helps you navigate the world of finance and investments through a scriptural lens. Our goal is to guide you to the true peak of financial health, a place beyond mere financial security where you strive to create a surplus of wealth you can use to serve the Kingdom of God. As experts in Christian wealth management, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with aligning your finances with your faith.

Hi, I'm Matthew Kelley. I'm a New Yorker by birth, and I spent most of my youth hiking the Adirondack mountains and playing lacrosse. My parents pushed me to work at a young age, and I learned that I didn't like working for others. So, at 14, I started my own landscaping business. My grandfather introduced me to the financial markets at this time, and I began to buy stocks with my profits. This led me to seek an internship with one of the nation's first financial planning firms through my college years. After college, I moved to Colorado to compete in snowboarding. I didn't do as well as I envisioned, so I decided that maybe snowboarding was not my competitive calling and began to look for what else interested me. This led me back to financial planning. In 2004, I asked my wife if I could leave my well-paying job and start my own financial planning company while on our honeymoon. She trusted me those many years ago, and I never looked back. Today, we've built an enduring and sustainable practice centered around helping our clients use their money to achieve their life's purpose for career, family, individual pursuits, retirement, and legacy. Life's not a rehearsal, and we keep this at the forefront of our advice. Locally, I serve my community by coaching high school lacrosse and I've been doing this since 1999. I love planting leadership seeds to help our future generations to treat others with love and respect. When I'm not working or enjoying my beautiful family, you will most likely find me doing one of the following:
