Dear Clients, Friends, and Family,
This October, MPM Wealth Advisors proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary. As I sit down to reflect on this milestone, I’m flooded with so many emotions—but above all, gratitude.
Back in 1995, my partner, Tom Damasco, and I set out on a journey that was both exciting and uncertain. After spending more than a decade at major brokerage firms, we had a vision: to provide a more comprehensive and personalized wealth management experience for our clients—one built on trust, integrity, and genuine relationships. Breaking away was not easy, but thanks to the clients who believed in us and stood by us during that transition, MPM was born. Many of those same clients remain with us to this day, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
Over the last three decades, we’ve had the privilege of serving not just individuals, but entire families—now spanning four generations. To watch our clients’ families grow, to celebrate life’s joys alongside them, and to stand beside them during life’s challenges has been the greatest honor of my career.
I am also grateful for the remarkable team we’ve built. Together, we’ve lived by a shared set of values: always doing the right thing, even when it’s difficult; paying attention to the details; keeping our word; and working better together than we ever could alone. These values are the foundation of MPM, and they are what set us apart.
Looking ahead, I feel energized and motivated. Tom and I worked hard to not only grow this firm but also to ensure that MPM would continue to thrive for decades to come. Today, that vision is in the capable hands of our successors: Sean Shinaberry, our CEO and long-time family friend, who joined the firm in 2003; Tom’s son, George Damasco, who joined in 2008; and my daughter, Chelsea Heintschel, who joined in 2015. Sean, George, and Chelsea have known each other since childhood. They love, trust, and respect one another, and I have complete confidence in their ability to carry the MPM legacy forward together. Their passion and energy will ensure MPM continues to be a place where families feel at home—valued, understood, and deeply cared for.
And while we celebrate the leadership of the next generation, I want to be clear: this milestone is not a retirement announcement. I will continue to work with clients, mentor our team, and seek new opportunities to grow the business. My commitment to our clients and to MPM’s future is as strong as ever.
We recently gathered with more than 150 clients, friends, and family members to celebrate this milestone. The joy and camaraderie in the room were a testament to the vision Tom and I shared 30 years ago: building enduring relationships rooted in trust, compassion, and generational impact. For those who joined us in celebrating, thank you! We hope you enjoy the photos from the party below.
Our mission has always been—and always will be—to serve as financial stewards across multiple generations, creating a legacy of prudent decision-making, lasting prosperity, and heartfelt connection.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your unwavering support, your trust, and your friendship. We would not be here without you, and we are forever grateful.
With gratitude,
Bryan Ohm
