Thomas C. Maher
CFP®, CPWA®, CRPC™
Managing Director
Developing meaningful relationships and understanding the “why” that motivates his clients has been Thom’s passion and focus throughout his 29-year career in the financial industry. Starting at a small firm in 1993, he learned the importance of developing personal connections. He joined Merrill Private Wealth Management Group in 1997 where, as a Portfolio Manager, he focused on the motivations and values behind his clients’ financial decisions and used these observations to develop individualized strategies to help them work towards their financial goals. Thom launched Maher Wealth Management in 2023 to continue helping individuals and families align their wealth and their values, and live their best life.
Outside of the office, Thom devotes his time to the Anthom Legacy Foundation. Founded in 2020 by him and his wife, Angela, Anthom was created to help pass on their family’s values to future generations. To this end, their foundation has contributed to community organizations such as EVIT, a college-prep and vocational training school where Thom also volunteers; Gompers, an organization that assists individuals with severe disabilities; and CeCe’s Hope Center, providing support and training for young female victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Thom resides in Gilbert, Arizona with his wife, Angela, and their two children: Jett, an aerospace engineer and Brooklyn, a nurse, are both recent graduates of the University of Arizona. Two Miniature Australian Shepherds, Scarlett and Finn, complete their family. When he isn’t working or volunteering, Thom enjoys spending time with his family, exploring the world, and solving complex puzzles.
Thom earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance degree from Utah State University in 1993. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®); a Certified Private Wealth Advisor® (CPWA®); Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor℠ (CRPC®) CRPC conferred by College for Financial Planning; and holds Series 7, 8, 24, 31, 63, and 65 securities licenses through LPL Financial.
