Background and Experience
Seth began investing personally in 1994 and has more than two decades of investing experience. His professional background includes work across banking and financial services, as well as experience in other industries that shaped his practical approach to planning and decision-making.
Raised in Honolulu, Seth brings a grounded, relationship-centered perspective to his work and values practical advice that helps clients stay focused on what matters most.
How Orchid Works
Orchid Wealth Management is a fee-only fiduciary advisory firm. That means advice is built around your interests, without commissions or third-party compensation, and with a focus on transparency, thoughtful planning, and long-term alignment.
Values-Based Investing
For clients who want their investments to reflect their beliefs and priorities, Orchid can help build portfolios that align with both financial goals and personal values. Not everyone defines values the same way, so this process is tailored to the individual.
Beyond the Office
Outside of work, Seth enjoys walking, hiking, bicycling and reading.
He also holds a U.S. utility patent for a travel pet bowl design, reflecting the same practical creativity he brings to his work with clients.
