Wesley Ford - Founder - Financial Advisor 

Wes entered the financial industry in 2013 with a clear perspective: even the most accomplished professionals can’t do it all alone. He helps busy clients navigate complex financial decisions, so their career success translates into long-term financial security.

That perspective was shaped by his grandfather, an accomplished innovator who developed a groundbreaking vaccine that revolutionized the safe transportation of cattle across the country. Despite his professional achievements, his grandfather faced financial setbacks in retirement—selling his business too early, coupled with losses from market downturns and concentrated investments. Wes believes that, with the guidance of a skilled financial advisor, many of these losses could have been avoided, serving as a powerful reminder that even highly successful individuals can encounter challenges without proper financial guidance.

Before founding Vineyard Financial NYC, Wes served as a Vice President, working with and advising financial advisors. In that role, he saw firsthand how many advisors were stretched too thin to provide the high level of service their clients deserved. This realization inspired Wes to establish Vineyard Financial NYC, a branch office of Vineyard Financial, focused on delivering personalized attention to a select group of clients.
