About
A real person accountable for the work.
MHW exists because financial decisions interact as a system, the same way the systems Jacob spent his career building do.

The founder's background
More than two decades in engineering, then business, then this.
Jacob spent more than two decades in engineering, working across complex technical environments (robotics, medical devices, aerospace, semiconductors, and manufacturing) and turning ambiguous, high-stakes problems into structured, executable plans.
That same pattern carried into business ownership: owning and operating businesses, including through periods of real disruption, and applying the same instinct for structure, evidence, and disciplined process.
My own financial planning and investing reinforced something I already valued from engineering and business: complex decisions improve when assumptions are explicit, tradeoffs are visible, and the process is disciplined. That connection is what led to founding MHW: applying the same structured approach to financial decisions.
What this background is and isn't
What this background is, and isn't
This technical and business background shapes how MHW approaches planning: methodically, with evidence, and with a bias toward checking work rather than assuming it. It is not a claim of prior paid financial-advisory experience, and it is not a substitute for the licensing, registration, and fiduciary accountability that govern MHW as a registered investment adviser.
Why this shapes MHW
Built for people who build, lead, and operate complex things.
That founder background informs how MHW works with technical professionals and business owners navigating consequential transitions. It is not, on its own, the reason to choose MHW. See What We Do →
