Patrick Ford, CPWA® CIMA®

My name is Pat Ford. I’m a Founding Partner and Wealth Advisor at Stratos Private Wealth. Since 2007, I have helped build the firm from the ground up. An alumnus of The University of Michigan, I majored in Economics with a focus on behavioral finance. In addition, I hold Certified Private Wealth Advisor (CPWA®) and Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) designations. As an advisor, I help the clients of Stratos Private Wealth with a wide array of financial, tax, estate, and investment matters.

My approach emphasizes practical ways money can help one free up time, pursue passions, improve health, or share more with loved ones.

I'm originally from Ypsilanti, Michigan, but have been living in San Diego since 2006, enjoying all our city has to offer. In my free time, I like being on the water and enjoy travelling with my wife and our two children. In addition, simple pleasures like cooking, reading, swimming, and fishing are at the top of my list
