Where Legacy Meets Stability

At Firm Foundation Family Wealth, we understand that every strong, enduring structure begins with a solid foundation. Just as a well-built home stands the test of time, so too does a robust financial plan lay the groundwork for your family's future and legacy. Our mission is to provide you with the framework necessary to build, grow, and safeguard your wealth, ensuring it serves as the cornerstone for your family's success.

Our Services

No two legacies are alike. Our team tailors personalized strategies to match your unique circumstances, aspirations, and financial goals. Whether it's estate planning, investment diversification, or wealth transfer, we craft solutions that stand the test of time.

Financial Planning

Building a lasting legacy isn’t just about money; it’s about the values, opportunities, and security it brings to your loved ones. We work closely with you to develop comprehensive plans that set the stage for the success of future generations.

Investments

We believe in the power of strategic planning and prudent financial management. Our team works tirelessly to fortify your financial structure, incorporating diverse strategies that withstand economic fluctuations and create stability for generations to come.

Retirement Planning

We don’t just manage wealth; we steward legacies. Let us partner with you to preserve what matters most and pave the way for a prosperous tomorrow for you and your heirs.

Risk Management

You cannot control when the storms of life hit but can be prepared. We focus on creating a risk management strategy using different insurance protections ensuring continuity of your plan even if the unexpected strikes.

Estate Planning

We understand the importance of your hard-earned wealth and the desire to pass it on. Our strategies are meticulously crafted to protect and enhance your assets, ensuring they endure for your heirs and beyond.

Philanthropic Giving

Just as a house becomes a home through memories and traditions, your wealth transcends mere numbers; it embodies your values. We want to help empower you in laying the groundwork for a meaningful, strategic approach that meets your needs.

Why We Help Clients Build a Firm Foundation

Your Financial Advisor

Managing Director, Private Wealth Advisor

Luke Melms, CFP®

The importance of my role as a financial advisor resonates deeply with me because it’s a chance to guide and support individuals during pivotal moments in their lives. Whether it’s planning for a child’s education, navigating retirement, or preserving a family legacy, I’m honored to be entrusted with these critical milestones.

What makes this profession incredibly meaningful to me is the human connection forged through every financial decision. It’s about understanding the unique aspirations, fears, and values of each person I work with. I firmly believe that behind every financial goal lies a story—a vision of a brighter future, a legacy waiting to be crafted.

The trust my clients place in me isn’t just about managing their wealth; it’s about being a partner on their life journey. It’s about being there to celebrate successes, navigate uncertainties, and provide structure and guidance that extends beyond numbers on a balance sheet.

The joy of witnessing the realization of dreams, the relief of a well-executed plan, and the peace of mind that comes from financial security—that’s what drives me. Knowing that my expertise can alleviate financial stress, bring structure, and pave the way for a more prosperous tomorrow is what fuels my passion for this profession.

Outside of my role as a financial advisor, I’m a proud husband to my wife, Pamela, and father to my daughter, Lucia. And, as a Crohn’s Disease patient myself, I’m deeply committed to helping the South Florida chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. I graduated from Carroll University with a Bachelor of Science in Business with a Finance major and Accounting minor. En route to becoming a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, I completed the CFP® certification of Professional Education Program.
