Our practice is built on the client-centric legacy of our founder, Ben Rast, who began working with clients over 40 years ago as The Rast Group. Today, we are proud be led by Matthew McFadden, who worked closely with Ben as his right-hand man for the past 25 years. Ben's legacy on our team is further upheld by two of his five children, second-generation Financial Advisors Emily Tarney and John Rast.
