Damon Nickle, CPFA®, AIF®
Senior Advisor
Damon has over a decade of experience working in the retirement plan space and with high net worth individuals/families. After graduating Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Economics from Villanova University Damon spent 20 years building a successful career working with businesses of all sizes developing, selling and implementing technically complex, mission critical solutions in the printing and direct mail industry.
In 2010 Damon decided to follow his lifelong passion for finance and investments by making a mid-life career change, becoming a licensed financial advisor (Series 65). He has worked with dozens of plan sponsors to build world class retirement plans for their organizations and employees, as well as advising high net worth investors by helping them build comprehensive financial plans to reach their goals.
Personal
Damon is the Assistant Scout Master for his two sons’ Boy Scout Troop, he also supports his wife’s “urban exploration” photography hobby, the B+ (pronounced ‘Be Positive’) charity for childhood cancer, and in his spare time started a car club with his friends who like to build, restore and hotrod old muscle cars together to take to car shows or make full throttle runs down drag strips in the area.
Tim Humphreys, CFP®, CPA®
President
After earning his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of Delaware, Tim began his professional career in M&A working closely with business owners to both prepare for sale and with buyers to help facilitate fair transactions that worked for both parties. After gaining over a decade of experience, Tim translated his working knowledge of business operations, tax, real estate, and corporate structure into becoming a trusted business strategy consultant to owners of closely held businesses predominantly for corporations generating annual revenue of $1M-100M.
Tim is highly respected in the local community and has earned the designations of Certified Financial Planner CFP®, Certified Public Accounts CPA© and also holds his S65 investment advisory license.
Tim classifies himself as a ‘serial-entrepreneur’ and is passionate about coaching others’ to help them succeed both in business and in life. After surveying the investment industry, Tim envisioned a better way to build a wealth management firm focused on clients’ success, top-notch service, and free from conflicts of interest. So in 2012, Tim founded Delaware Avenue Wealth Planners as a boutique Financial Planning and Wealth Management firm to transition his passion for cultivating others’ personal success into a business that could reach even more individuals, families, and businesses. He is maniacally focused on ‘Best-In-Class Service’ in every aspect of every business he is connected to.
Personal
When he’s not working, Tim is an avid Flyers and Eagles fan – much to his chagrin the past few seasons. In his spare time, he also enjoys fishing, hunting, cooking, traveling, and learning. Not bad for a once-sous-chef interested in attaining a bachelor’s degree in accounting. Tim continues to strive to help individuals, families, and business owners define and achieve their own vision of success.
