Stephen C. Lynch CFP®

President
505.881.7526

As President of Steve Lynch Wealth Management, it is both a privilege and a responsibility to guide individuals, families, and businesses in building and preserving wealth—not just for today, but for future generations. My career in wealth management spans over three decades, during which I have had the honor of helping clients navigate complex financial landscapes and achieve their long-term financial goals. I hold multiple industry certifications, including the Series 7 (1986), Series 63 (1986), and Series 24 (1995), and have been a Fiduciary and practicing CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER ™ professional since 1990.

My approach to financial management is grounded in my deep commitment to fiduciary responsibility, always putting my clients' best interests first. I pride myself on providing sound, strategic advice that addresses both immediate financial needs and long-term aspirations.

My educational journey began at New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI), where I earned an Associate of Arts degree in 1982, followed by a Bachelor of Science in International Trade from Texas Tech University. In my ongoing pursuit of knowledge, I have attended numerous industry conferences and professional development programs, with the most impactful being Harvard University’s Executive Business Program in Behavioral Finance, which has shaped my understanding of client psychology and investment decision-making.

In addition to my financial expertise, I bring leadership experience from my time serving as a Company Commander in Operation Desert Shield. This experience instilled in me the values of discipline, resilience, and a deep sense of responsibility—qualities that continue to guide my approach in both business and life.

Personally, I am a proud husband to my wife, Heidi, with whom I have raised four wonderful children, all of whom are NMMI alumni. When I’m not working, I enjoy fishing, playing tennis, riding dirt bikes, and simply spending time in the great outdoors.

As an Investment Advisor Representative at Steve Lynch Wealth Management, I am honored to help individuals, families, and businesses navigate their financial journeys. My mission is to support clients in building lasting wealth, not only to fulfill immediate needs but also to create a legacy that can be passed down through generations.

I hold a degree in Economics from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV), where I also competed on the men’s tennis team. My foundation in discipline and leadership began earlier at the New Mexico Military Institute (NMMI), where I graduated high school and began honing the skills that would shape my professional path.

In addition to my career at Steve Lynch Wealth Management, I have proudly served in the Army National Guard since 2009, a commitment I share with my wife, Alexandria, who also serves. We are thrilled to have recently welcomed our first child, a joyful milestone that adds a new dimension to our family’s story.

As an officer in the Army National Guard, I am driven by a desire to support fellow service members, veterans, and their families—offering advice not just on finances, but on life’s broader challenges. My military service has ingrained in me a strong sense of duty and resilience, qualities that inform the way I work with all my clients to plan for their long-term futures.

Outside of my professional and military responsibilities, I enjoy outdoor activities such as fly fishing, hunting, and playing guitar.
