Jeff Hammer

Jeff built Forte on a belief that financial planning should serve the whole person — not just the portfolio. With a career spanning Northwestern Mutual, Capital One, and the Defense Logistics Agency — where he managed a $600 million business unit — Jeff brings a rare combination of institutional scale and personal depth. He works across the country with business owners, nonprofits, and families, sitting side by side with each client to make sure their financial plan is as creative as it is precise.
But ask Jeff what drives him and the answer isn't a strategy — it's people. He has a deep love for his family, a passion for travel and music, and a genuine calling to guide others toward multiplied impact in their lives. And when he's on the golf course? Let's just say he plays with the same enthusiasm he brings to everything — over the river and through the woods, all the way to grandmother's house.
His commitment is the same in every conversation: serve each person with excellence, creativity, and integrity.
