As the founder and president of Wealth Trac Financial, LLC, Kurt Fillmore is focused on helping clients work toward their financial dreams through a well-thought-out strategy for every stage of life. The son of two teachers, Kurt was abruptly thrown into the finance world at 19 years old when his father passed away, leaving Kurt a modest inheritance. Unprepared to deal with this tragic loss, Kurt relied on his father's financial advisor to manage the money. Through tax mismanagement and poor investment choices, Kurt's inheritance was soon cut in half.
At the time, Kurt was a student studying Finance at one of the top-ranked business schools in the nation, the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He began educating himself on personal financial strategies and the details regarding his own situation. It was then that Kurt decided his goal in life: To use the knowledge he gained to help other families secure their futures and avoid large financial setbacks like he experienced at such a young age.
Following graduation, Kurt spent two years as an account executive at CitiGroup, where he managed retirement assets for medical professionals. He was named National Financial Counselor of the Year in 2002 and 2003. Kurt became an independent advisor in 2004, ultimately founding Wealth Trac Financial in 2007. He holds his Series 65 securities license with fiduciary duty and his Michigan life and health insurance license. Kurt is also a Notary Public in Michigan and is a member of the Better Business Bureau. Kurt makes it his responsibility to thoroughly understand clients’ goals and dreams and to leverage his knowledge and experience to help clients realize them. He was named one of the Michigan Financial Leaders by Forbes and a Five Star Wealth Manager by HOUR Detroit Magazine. He also has been featured in and on multiple national and local news outlets for his industry knowledge, including Forbes, CNN, Consumer Reports, US News & World Report, Detroit FOX-2 News and Kiplinger.
Kurt lives in Bingham Farms, Michigan, with his wife, Erika, and three small children, Dylan, Elliana, and Mason.
Kevin was born and raised in S. Korea, but has been a Southern California native since 1988. Watching his parents work hard to provide a better life for him and his sister, Kevin understands the value of hard work, and also what it means to protect what you’ve worked hard for. This means that he doubly understands the importance of protecting his clients’ assets, but also setting up a retirement plan that will sustain the lifestyle that they’ve been dreaming about.
This is why as a financial planner and advisor for The Corban Group, Kevin is always thinking ahead for the firm’s clients (and how they can live their best life!). Whether they’re wondering if they can retire comfortably or they’re at the start of their career looking for that perfect roadmap, he digs deep to deliver a thoroughly though-out, complete financial plan — one that’s focused on sustainable, long-term growth.
Kevin gets to know each client on a personal level to help advise and guide them to feel confident about reaching their goals. Using keen analytical skill and expertise with retirement plans, investments, estate plans, taxes, insurance options, cashflow & debt management, he implements tangible steps to help clients preserve their hard-earned assets and avoid pitfalls that may have not been considered. And when he’s not busy doing that, you’ll find him enjoying life with his wife and two gremlins daughters, looking for new delicious restaurants to try, volunteering at church, or at the local car meet.
