Curt Pudenz

Curt Pudenz joined Modern Wealth Management in March 2026 as a Relationship Manager in the firm’s Glidden, Iowa office. In his role, he assists advisors with developing financial plans, reviewing client portfolio allocations, and implementing investment strategies designed to help clients work toward their long-term financial goals.

Curt is passionate about helping individuals and families build confidence in their financial future. He believes that effective financial planning goes beyond investments and numbers. It is about understanding what matters most to each client and creating a roadmap to help them pursue their dreams, whether that means retiring comfortably, supporting future generations, growing a business, or achieving greater financial independence. Curt takes pride in building meaningful relationships and helping clients feel informed and empowered as they make important financial decisions.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Northern Iowa. Following graduation, Curt spent nearly two decades working in his family’s cattle and grain operation. That experience provided him with a strong foundation in hard work, problem-solving, and long-term planning, qualities he now brings to his work with clients every day.

Curt’s background and life experiences help him connect with a wide range of individuals and families throughout the communities served by Modern Wealth. He values trust, communication, and personalized service and is committed to helping clients navigate life’s financial opportunities and challenges with confidence.

Family is at the center of Curt’s life. He and his wife, Jill, live in Iowa and enjoy spending time with their two children, two stepchildren, and six grandchildren. Outside of work, Curt enjoys weightlifting, playing pickleball and golf, watching his son play football, and spending time with family and friends.
