If you feel like retirement will never happen for you or saving is just not in your playbook right now, this is your guy. Reach out to Brightwork or Buckman and Company directly to learn what the Buckman difference is.
It’s a chance for us normal people to have the dream too.
A little about Dan.
The credentials are there. Triple 'Hoo. FINRA license. Former investment banker and wealth manager at a major national bank, advising clients with millions.
But here's what really matters:
Dan chose to leave that world to help you.
Not "people like you." Not "clients in your demographic." You.
Because he was tired of seeing hardworking people—teachers, nonprofit workers, young professionals—get turned away by financial advisors who only want clients with $500K+ to invest.
So he built Buckman & Company to be the opposite of that.
No minimums. No gatekeeping. No talking down to you like you're irresponsible for not having it all figured out. Just honest, practical guidance from someone who actually gets it.
And when he's not coaching clients? Dan's volunteering with the United Way, Ronald McDonald House, and Spotsylvania Education Foundation. Because giving back to Charlottesville isn't a side project—it's who he is.
Here's your choice:
Work with a traditional financial advisor who requires hundreds of thousands of dollars and treats you like a number in their portfolio.
Or work with someone who left that world specifically to help people like you build the financial future you deserve.
Your call. But Dan's here when you're ready.
