Here’s What You Can Expect From Us

Solutions designed just for you.

Your goals are highly distinct to you, which is why we’re firmly against a one-size-fits-all mindset. We take the time to understand the details of your needs and work to create a plan that uniquely fits you.

Options for you to choose from.

We’ll provide you with various paths to your goals and will explore them together. Given our independence, we’re not beholden to certain products. Therefore, we can utilize a range of solutions to meet your needs and provide you with multiple options.

Straightforward partnership.

From day one of meeting you, we strive to be transparent, beginning with whether or not we can add value to your situation and continuing with honesty through our relationship. We believe mutual candor helps us make collaborative decisions that are right for your financial future.

About Us

Adding Value to Your Financial Life Is Our Personal Commitment 

So, “The UnBiased Advisor” — what exactly does that mean?

Let’s face it: we’re all up against our personal biases in nearly every situation we encounter. And these biases can often prevent us from seeing clearly and, occasionally, from making intelligent choices.

We address for…

our own biases

by considering all solutions and laying them out for you

your biases

by creating a plan that factors in your strengths and weaknesses

Our goal is to create a strategy with the best probability of success for you personally. We are dedicated to applying understanding, integrity and professionalism to your wealth journey at every step of the way. That’s what being your trusted team means to us.


Meet the Team


I feel fortunate to play a role in helping my clients improve their financial trajectories, and I strive to do so in the most efficient, strategic manner possible. Through an evidence-based approach, I work one-on-one with you to enhance your understanding of personal finances and investing. We’ll explore historically proven theories that increase your likelihood of success and further determine the specific strategy that is right for your needs.

My “why” for being an advisor is based on my passion for wellness as a whole, from financial health to physical wellbeing. As your partner, I aim to find the solution which will provide the greatest benefit to your life. And if my team and I don’t know the answer, we work hard to connect you with the right people and resources in an unbiased manner.

I have spent over 18 years in the financial planning field after graduating from Indiana University with a degree in public finance.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two girls.  My other passion is functional fitness, so when I'm not learning about financial theory or behavioral finance you can find me diving into the fitness industry.

My name is Linnea Visbal and I am the administrative assistant to Krisna Patel. I graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 2021 with a degree in political science. Although I do not have a finance background, graduating without any job prospects or knowledge of finance provoked my interest in the financial planning industry. I feel that students and young people are not taught financial independence in our school systems. And, given the increasing cost of living, many young people are unable to get ahead in life due to financial issues and debt. 

I feel honored to work alongside Krisna as his administrative assistant. He has expanded my intellect and knowledge on all aspects of the economy, how to invest, and have financial freedom.

As my long term goal is to pursue a career in law, I hope to incorporate my knowledge of finance to help change the public school system to teach a curriculum that focuses on understanding the US economy, investing and our government’s laws surrounding finance. I believe these two things are connected with each other and knowing how they work can help individuals overcome financial hurdles and manage their money more efficiently.

Have You Ever Wondered Why You Are Willing to Take Certain Gambles and Not Others?

Making gains feels pleasurable, but losses are painful. And we all have a unique tolerance for potential loss, also known as your utility curve. Developed by an MIT PhD Physicist, Portfolio Designer helps us map your specific utility function across three distinct dimensions. With insight into how you make decisions under uncertainty, we are able to construct lasting investment portfolios to achieve your financial goals.
