Our Founders

Here’s our story. We look forward to hearing yours.

Fusion Capital

Fusion Capital, an Investment Advisory Firm, was an evolving idea before it became a reality. With a shared vision that sets them apart from the mainstream Financial Service Industry, Jason Mengel and Dan Webster developed an idea to collaborate and “fuse” their own advisor firm after successfully building their own practices. They set this partnership into motion and have not looked back since. Their efforts to align with top managers, economists and strategists to further enhance their firm’s services has separated Jason and Dan as advisors from those within conventional institutions who focus less on individualized strategies and more on standardized practices.

In 2014, Fusion Capital was recognized and featured in Forbes magazine. In addition, the firm was chosen as a Five Star Wealth Manager, an honor awarded to less than 3% of wealth mangers in their local markets as voted on by peers and clients alike and featured in the Wall Street Journal. Jason and Dan have been featured as recurring contributing authors in the Wealth Creation section of Kiplinger.com. Fusion’s true “Independence” allows them the luxury of being able to offer a true “best-in-breed open architecture platform.” Fusion Capital works with an array of clients ranging from young entrepreneurial families to those nearing or in retirement who are concerned about managing their wealth through their golden years in an ever-changing market.
