Email: ray@networthadvice.com
Author of 20 Retirement Decisions You Need to Make Right Now

Ray has gained a unique perspective of the financial industry during his 27 years of experience. Ray has worked as a representative for one of the nation’s largest mutual fund companies (Fidelity), as a bank investment representative at one of the nation’s largest banks (Citicorp) and as an insurance agent at a reputable life insurance company (Mutual of New York-MONY). Ray then worked as a stockbroker at the nation’s largest brokerage firm (Merrill Lynch) before starting Net Worth Advisory Group in 2003.

Given that Ray has seen the industry from many angles, he understands the types of products and services that commission-based companies offer. As an independent fee-only advisor, Ray is in a unique position to help people evaluate the products and services they have been sold by other advisors and help determine if they were given sound advice.

‍Financial Management Experience

‍I consider it a privilege to assist clients in making some of the most important decisions they will ever make. Chief among these are the many important financial decisions that will directly impact their ability to live the life they have imagined. As a fee-only advisor, I act in a fiduciary capacity and am uniquely positioned to provide truly objective advice.

For the last 16 years I have worked intimately with my clients to help them achieve their life and financial goals. Nothing is more satisfying to me professionally than to see them accomplish this. The areas I have focused on the most with my clients include retirement planning, investment analysis, investment strategy, investment portfolio management, business planning, tax planning, life/health/disability/long-term care insurance, education and estate planning.  

Prior to working with Net Worth Advisory Group, I worked for Duke Energy, one of the nation’s largest utilities and energy merchants. As Vice President of Energy Marketing and Trading, I gained invaluable experience and expertise in managing market, commodity, credit, currency, and interest rate risk.  

Helping lead and manage Net Worth Advisory Group is a responsibility that I greatly enjoy. Because I care deeply for all of our clients and have a tremendous amount of respect for my work colleagues, I want Net Worth to be the very best it can be. I believe that as we effectively manage our business it greatly increases our ability to successfully serve our clients and better enables us to serve future clients.  

Throughout my life, I have strived to qualify myself to be someone that can create value in the lives of others. My educational background started with a Bachelor’s of Science in Accounting from the University of Utah. I then earned a Masters of Business Administration from Brigham Young University. To better prepare myself as a financial planner, I completed the Financial Planning Certification Program from Boston University. I continue to complete extensive continuing education to stay current on my associations and designations and to better prepare myself to serve clients.

Greg is passionate about helping his clients live the kind of retirement they’ve always dreamt of—and focus on what matters in their lives.

Greg believes the only way he can truly be accountable to his clients is through a fee-only platform, which Net Worth Advisor Group adheres to.

Kristy Donahoo

Email: kristy@networthadvice.com

‍Kristy believes that everyone should actively plan for retirement. She is keenly aware of how daunting the financial planning choices can seem. It was while she was in preparation for her own retirement, sitting on the client’s side of the table that she discovered how different advisor agendas and motivations can be, which often leads to unnecessary complexity and confusion. It was this experience that inspired her to re-enter the workforce to become a fee-only (fiduciary) advisor herself with a commitment to make financial planning and investing an enjoyable, uncomplicated, and stress-free experience.

Kristy is especially grateful to have been personally mentored and inspired by Ray LeVitre, the founder of Net Worth Advisory Group and author of 20 Retirement Decisions You Need to Make Right Now.  She has enjoyed over 10,000 hours of training and direct mentorship with Ray.  Much of this time was spent as a Business Partner with Ray, developing and growing his client practice. With Ray’s experience building one of the top fee-only financial advisory services in the state of Utah and Kristy’s 20-plus years as a career woman building her own nest egg, they brought an unusual combination of expertise, compassion and capabilities to the table.

Today, Kristy is partnered with Amoree Farnsworth, CFP to continue what started with Ray – a practice centered on sound financial principles and strategies for a financially secure retirement. Together, Kristy and Amoree strive to make this possibility, the reality for all of the clients they serve.

Much of Kristy’s career prior to Net Worth Advisory Group, spanned over 20 years in executive sales management positions in Northern California/Silicon Valley with high-tech and early internet companies. When she relocated to Utah, she was personally recruited by Utah’s Governor Michael O. Leavitt to lead the state’s hosting and business development programs for the 2002 Olympics. She later went on to teach in a highly regarded private Utah school prior to becoming a licensed fee-only financial advisor.

‍Education & Designations

Prior to becoming a Financial Advisor, Amoree enjoyed over 10 years with a career in the banking and mortgage industry where she worked as an underwriter and obtained her Direct Endorsement from FHA. Coupled with her experience working for the Utah State Tax Commission and a previous firm working directly with a CPA, she found a passion for tax planning.  This fueled her desire for a holistic approach to financial advising.

Today, Amoree is partnered with Kristy Donahoo to continue what Ray, the founder of Net Worth started – a practice centered on sound financial principles and strategies for a financially secure retirement.
