Before founding Four C Financial, Dustin spent over a decade with the largest bank in the United States, where he honed his skills and built a successful business, helping hundreds of clients reach their financial goals. However, after years of feeling constrained by corporate structures, Dustin recognized the limitations of a model where his unique abilities to help clients were often secondary to the company’s bottom line. This realization led him to establish Four C Financial in October 2021, a firm designed to put clients’ needs at the forefront, offering customized financial solutions with transparency and integrity.
At Four C Financial, Dustin has developed strong partnerships with leading technology firms specializing in tax-efficient investment management. By leveraging these cutting-edge tools, Dustin’s clients have opportunities to reduce their tax liabilities while enhancing their long-term wealth. One of his core beliefs is that a deep understanding of one’s investments is key to achieving financial success. Dustin works closely with clients to ensure they are informed about the investments they own, why they own them, and the associated costs. This approach helps clients focus on their long-term financial goals rather than getting sidetracked by market volatility.
Dustin’s expertise in retirement planning and income strategies, coupled with his in-depth knowledge of financial markets and economics, positions him as a valuable resource for clients seeking reliable, informed advice. His ability to communicate complex financial concepts in an accessible way has earned him a reputation for delivering exceptional client service. In addition to his strong technical expertise, Dustin is a skilled public speaker and enjoys educating clients about the importance of sound financial planning. Dustin also holds the series 7, series 63, and series 65 licenses.

His firm’s open architecture platform ensures clients have access to top money managers in the industry, while Dustin’s keen attention to detail ensures that each financial plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of every individual.
Outside of work, Dustin is a passionate cook and sports enthusiast. He enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Jamie, and their four sons—Cash, Carter, Crosby, and Cooper. Dustin’s personal interests reflect his energetic and driven nature, which he brings to his professional life as well.
