Sanger D. Smith,
BFA™, APMA®, CEPA™
Financial Advisor and Founder
Sanger is driven by a passion for helping family business owners and operators make smart financial decisions that align with their values. Growing up with a financial advisor father, Sanger's fascination with decision-making began early on, even as he navigated some of his own youthful misadventures, like spending a year's worth of allowance on a skateboard he couldn't ride or sporting a completely shaved head in high school.
Sanger spent 10 years at his father's firm before taking over as owner for another four years. In 2022, he founded Decidedly Wealth with a mission to focus on family business and building long-term relationships that support them through various phases of ownership.
Sanger believes in guiding clients on how to live a life that reflects their values, today, tomorrow, and even after they are gone.
He graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Agricultural Economics and is a Certified Exit Planning Advisor. Sanger jokes that he chose his major because it was listed first alphabetically, only to discover that Texas A&M had a Financial Planning program in the same department.
Today, as a financial advisor, Sanger dedicates his life to helping others navigate the complex world of money decisions while infusing his practice with the same lightheartedness and humility that defined his journey.
With his extensive experience, unique perspective, and genuine commitment to his clients, Sanger Smith leads Decidedly Wealth with a clear vision, ensuring that family business owners find the financial success and personal fulfillment they deserve.
