We Chose A Different Path

BWM is focused on making as great of an impact on your life as possible.  Our calling is to help you live your Ideal Life.  We quickly realized that we could not achieve this goal by being all things to all people.  As a result, we engage you in a mutual due diligence process to ensure that we are a good fit for both you, and that  you, likewise, are a good fit for us.

To achieve our goal of helping you live your Ideal Life, we place significant value on communication and client service.  Our team based approach utilizes two NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisors and three assistants.  Technology plays an important role in our practice, as we are able to "virtually" service clients across the states from anywhere in the world.

Our Mission

Our mission is to partner with you, as your guide and educator, and help you achieve your Ideal Life by functioning as your Chief Financial Officer in a fiduciary capacity.

The Bergland Epiphany

In 1982, during a fact-finding session with a client, John E. Bergland, Jr. (then an insurance agent) had an ah-ha moment. He realized that individuals do not need someone to simply sell them commission-driven products: life insurance policies, stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Rather, they need someone to help them take an inventory of their life, then stand in their shoes and show them their wisest, most prudent course of action. He knew then and there, that was his calling and that’s what the Lord had put him on earth to do. And he’s been doing it with great passion ever since.
