James Langabeer, PhD, MBA, ChFC®, CFT™️
Hello, I am the Founder and Chief Financial Advisor. Welcome! I was born in Tokyo Japan in a career military (U.S. Air Force) family which moved around a lot! Military life plus a CPA father has led me to conservative principles for planning that have served me well on my path to wealth. Today, I am lucky to be one of the leading voices in financial decision-making. I also recently authored an award-winning book, The Quest for Wealth, which has won 2 Silver Medal finance book awards!
So why did I pick Yellowstone Wealth as my firm name? Well, to me Yellowstone Mountains and the National Park represents strength, power, and resilience. The Yellowstone mountain ranges are symbols of permanence and beauty...All features I want to help others achieve with their financial life.
I founded Yellowstone Wealth Advisors in Houston,Texas, to provide financial planning, financial coaching, investment advising, and "financial therapy" for anybody struggling with money behaviors and decisions as well as those looking to build and maintain wealth. I work to address both money mindset and behaviors, to help you build and maintain wealth.
Before this, I have been a CEO, software executive, company financial controller, management consultant, and university professor. As a Dave Ramsey Master Certified Financial Coach, I am a financial advisor with the heart of a teacher.
My passion is to help people improve the behaviors that lead to faulty choices to help maximize the odds of achieving goals, dreams, and wealth.
