Charlie completed his CFP® coursework at Boston University and achieved the CFP® marks in 2009.

His expertise in advising individuals, families, and businesses in applying strategic financial planning to actualize measured, tangible long-term goals has been the foundation of his career. Equally important is Charlie’s keen understanding that every client’s situation and relationship with their planning and goals are unique and personal. Charlie serves as a fiduciary for his clients and is a fee-only financial advisor.

Charlie and his two sons Angelo and Carlo live on Daniel Island and enjoy golfing, the beach, traveling, and of course, enjoying the different culinary experiences found in the Holy City.

Prior to joining Capasso Planning Partners, Dan worked for a large fee-only investment advisory firm as a senior advisor and portfolio manager. Here, his focus included managing clients investment portfolios, developing financial plans, implementing wealth management strategies, and advising on small company retirement plans. During this time, he had the privilege of working closely with a diverse group of clients all across the country. Earlier in his career, Dan worked as an investment analyst and operations manager for a fee-only investment advisory firm.

Dan is a graduate of the College of Charleston, where he earned his Bachelors degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. Dan passed the Series 65 exam in 2011 and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation, one of the most recognized and respected credentials in the industry. Outside of work, Dan is active in multiple basketball leagues, enjoys playing golf, and likes being outside as much as possible taking in the perfect Charleston weather.

Drew Hendricks was born on Long Island, New York, but spent much of his childhood in the Charlotte area. After high school, he began his studies at the College of Charleston. In 2008, he received a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in finance. While in college he fell in love with the area, and decided that after graduation he would stay in Charleston to begin his career as a financial advisor.

Drew has been an advisor since 2008, and he became a financial advisor because of an experience in his past. His father passed away from cancer in the summer of 2002 and he witnessed how, with proper planning, finances do not have to become a burden for families who find themselves in tough circumstances. This is when Drew decided to make financial planning his life’s work, so that he could help others in the way that his family had been helped. This is also why you may see him in the halls of MUSC, as he regularly volunteers in the Hollings Cancer Center.

In early 2020, he decided to make the change to Capasso Planning Partners to fulfill personal and professional goals of giving 100% unbiased advice, made possible by the fee-only planning structure at Capasso. He believes, through his experience, this is the best model to unite the client and advisor towards the client’s goals, as it ties them to each others’ success.

In his free time he enjoys traveling the world, spending time with his girlfriend, golfing, and taking advantage of everything Charleston (the place he’s called home since 2004) has to offer.

George was born and raised in the city of Charleston. He loves indulging in the many events and festivals the city has to offer throughout the year. He spends much of his free time taking advantage of the wonderful year round weather by partaking in many outdoor activities and supporting the local sports teams.

Michael was born in New York City and spent his childhood growing up in Northern New Jersey suburbs in a family of 7. After high school Mike played football at Trinity College in Hartford, CT where he was a 3 year starter and also received his bachelor’s degree in political science in 2010. After graduation Mike moved back to the tri-state area and started working in financial services, Mike spent the last 13 years working for two large financial institutions and became a financial advisor in 2014, where he received his series 66, series 7, health and life insurance licenses and eventually the CFP designation in 2015. Working with High Net Worth individual clients and small businesses, Mike has always believed the most important thing we can do for a client is to have sound planning tactics and strategies. Michael has extensive experience in retirement, estate, investment, insurance and cash flow planning.

Mike joined Capasso Planning Partners in 2023, because he believes the fee-only advisory service keeps a client’s best interest at the front all the time. This way Mike can provide unbiased advice and guidance to clients that will provide them the best opportunity to succeed. Growing up with a large family and seeing situations in his personal life has reinforced the need to always have a plan at the foundation of any major decision. Financial planning has been the bedrock of Mike’s practice management for the last 13 years and he wanted to work at the place that puts the same emphasis on it as he does.

Mike currently lives in Hoboken, NJ with his fiance. He is an avid golfer and loves rooting for his New York sports teams. Mike also enjoys spending time with his family and being active in his spare time.

When you grow up with an Army Drill Sergeant for a father, you learn a thing or two about getting things done. That’s the case with CPP team member Dee Northern. Growing up an Army brat, Dee quickly learned that the key to success is taking time to learn things the right way, and then doing them over and over again. It’s a lesson he puts into practice every day working to ensure the best possible futures for his clients.

His next role was as an advisor with Buckingham Strategic Wealth, where he focused on retirement planning, investment management, estate planning and tax planning in addition to serving on the Diversity Equity & Inclusion Council – an extension of the Board of Directors.

After earning a BBA from the University of Texas at San Antonio, Brett began his career working with individuals and families as a representative with an independent broker/dealer. In 2012, he started his own Registered Investment Advisor firm, leaving the commissioned-based business behind. Brett quickly gained a solid reputation as a portfolio manager for other investment advisors, leading his RIA to rebrand and rebuild in early 2015 to a firm that provides an infrastructure where advisors can come into and thrive. Starting as a solo shop with just two million dollars in AUM in 2012, the firm grew to five full-time advisors with one hundred thirty million dollars in AUM by the end of 2017.

Through this growth, Brett gained experience as a chief investment officer and portfolio manager and further developed his skills in key leadership roles and in compliance, branding and operations management. Based on his experience, Brett knows what it takes to start and successfully run a new, independent RIA practice, and he understands the goals and challenges RIAs face in relating to and assisting advisors with the goal of creating a successful experience for the client.

Over the years Brett has recognized a service void in the independent RIA industry of advisory firms like the one he began. Such firms need professional, white glove portfolio management and oversight services, but many do not have the means or ability to hire the staff necessary for such services. This recognition helped lead to the development of Advisor Logistics.

An Austin, Texas native, Brett has lived in San Antonio for almost fourteen years where he currently resides with his wife and two young children. Brett is active in his church, enjoys golfing and playing chess, and is an avid salt water angler.

She was also responsible for production processes and reviews processes to identify, coordinate and implement improvements to various workflows. She also did a short stint in document automation working with contracts and other legal documents. Additionally, in Wells Fargo, she partnered with credit consultants to draft and update business procedures. After working for these corporations, she started working remotely drafting business plans, sales pitches, presentations, reference material, doing research and administrative support to the CEO and financial advisors.

Moira enjoys traveling, fishing and just started loving the art of baking!
