Some of us discover our passions in the most unlikely of places. For Adrian Hovey, it happened halfway through his time in the Navy. After being strong armed into setting up a Roth IRA early on, Adrian and his wife lucked into a relationship with a financial planner early in their 20’s. With the foundation from the Navy and the help of that advisor at an early age, he was able to structure his family’s finances to enable an extraordinary amount of freedom. Adrian knew he’d discovered a passion that would become his obsession. Adrian had an epiphany: financial literacy wasn’t just a skill - it was a superpower.
That spark ignited a journey that took him to Cornell where he earned his MBA and launched a career devoted to helping others unlock their financial potential. Adrian firmly believes that mastering financial literacy early on opened doors he hadn’t even known existed. Now, he’s on a mission to do the same for his clients. With over 20 years of experience, he’s become a trusted financial partner for tech professionals, empowering them to exceed their goals and build futures as innovative as their own careers. Adrian has always gravitated towards tech professionals in his personal network. After marrying a PR executive for Amazon, tech professionals rapidly became the core of his circle. Getting to know their goals and challenges, over home cooked meals at his home in Seattle and later Colorado, gave him a front-row seat to their unique financial needs.
Before joining the team, Adrian honed his skills at one of the largest private broker-dealers, refining the expertise that now drives his work. He describes Clear Capital Management as “smart and grounded,” a reflection of his belief in crafting flexible, tailored financial strategies. His colleague’s attitudes reflect his belief in personalized financial solutions, creating strategies that flex to fit each client’s goals. Plus, the company’s size means they’re agile enough to stay ahead of the game - just the way Adrian likes it!
When he’s not charting financial futures, you’ll find Adrian unwinding along a fly-fishing stream, grilling up something delicious, or playing baseball with his kids. Driven, approachable, and endlessly passionate, Adrian is here to make sure your financial future is every bit as ambitious as you are.
