Chad Castle, RICP®
With over two decades of experience guiding individuals towards their financial aspirations, Chad understands wealth is not just about money; it's about dreams, goals, family, and legacy. His approach goes beyond numbers, focusing on dignity and self-reliance.
Chad Castle, RICP®
Chad grew up in a small town in northeast Texas. During high school, he played football and baseball, stocked grocery shelves on weeknights, and drove tractors and grain trucks on the weekends. Although he was Valedictorian of his high school class, his kids say his class rank wasn’t impressive because there were only 37 students in his graduating class.
As a student at Baylor, Chad paid for his education through student loans and waiting tables at nights and most weekends. During his “free” time, he was a founding member of the Baylor Rugby Club and served as an officer in Sigma Nu Fraternity.
After earning his BBA, with a double major in Financial Services and Planning and Insurance Studies, his most proud accomplishment was marrying his “Baylor Beauty” over 26 years ago. Four kids later, Chad spends much of his time working to pay Baylor tuition bills and baseball and football season tickets.
Chad has served in the financial services industry since 1995. Most recently, he opened Winnow Wealth to focus on creating simple, efficient, and transparent investment plans for his clients. Chad teaches retirement planning courses every semester at McLennan Community College, where his students are primarily Baby Boomers. After every class, Chad hears comments like, “Wow! We wish we would have come to your class twenty years ago!”

The Meaning of Winnow
The term "winnow" holds great significance at Winnow Wealth, embodying the essence of our financial philosophy.
To winnow is to separate the valuable from the extraneous, an ancient agricultural practice of separating grain from chaff. In the context of Winnow Wealth, this process directly aligns with our commitment to refining financial strategies, helping our clients sift through the complexities of their financial landscape to discern what truly matters. Much like separating the wheat from the chaff, we guide individuals in identifying and retaining the essential elements of their financial portfolio while eliminating unnecessary complexities.
By strategically winnowing through accounts and financial intricacies, we empower our clients to focus on what truly contributes to their financial well-being, ensuring a streamlined and purposeful approach to wealth management. At Winnow Wealth, we believe in the power of clarity and simplicity, helping you cultivate a financial future that is both meaningful and resilient.
