Neal came on board when Autumn Wind Asset Management became Modern Wealth Management in March 2024. After serving as the founder and owner of Autumn Wind for 24 years, Neal was intrigued by the opportunity to work with a broad team in specialty areas of the business including investments, planning, and compliance at Modern Wealth. 

Neal serves as a portfolio manager out of Modern Wealth’s Reston, Virginia office, and is excited about helping offer a wider solution set to clients.  

He and his wife, Veronica, have two daughters, Haley and Olivia. Family comes first for Neal, and markets, guitars, and the outdoors follow. Neal is a luthier and tries to build one to two guitars per year. He’s also a volunteer on a group that maintains a 32-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail in Northern Virginia.
