Investing in What Matters Most
Investment, at its core, is about commitment— whether it’s time, energy, or resources—with the expectation that it will lead to something worthwhile. We often think of investment in financial terms, but the truth is, we invest in so much more. Our families, our community, and our well-being all require the same level of intention and effort, and the returns, while not always immediate, are what shape a fulfilling life.
Living in West Austin, I see investment happening all around me. It’s in the families who dedicate their weekends to coaching little league, the local business owners who pour everything they have into creating something meaningful for our community, and the neighbors who show up for one another when it matters most. One of the most rewarding investments I’ve made is in the relationships I’ve built here—whether through conversations over coffee at a favorite local spot or by supporting the businesses that make this area feel like home.
Financial investment is, of course, crucial, helping us build security and create opportunities for future generations. But just as important is the investment we make in each other. Taking time to connect, to support, and to give back strengthens the foundation of our community in ways that go beyond dollars and cents.
This month, we’re highlighting stories of meaningful investment—whether it’s in building a strong financial future, fostering relationships, or contributing to the growth of West Austin. However you choose to invest, the effort you put in will always find its way back to you.

Irene Green, SVP, Mortgage Lending
Buying a home between October and March can be a smart move— prices are competitive, sellers are motivated, and inventory is good. In spring, rising prices and more buyers can mean fewer options and multiple offers, which can be tough for firsttime buyers. Be prepared by speaking with a local lender for pre-approval. With over 20 years in mortgage lending, Irene Green provides exceptional guidance and quick turnarounds. Contact her at (512) 422-1782 or visit FFIN.com/Irene-Green.

MUSIC EDUCATION IS ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE GIFTS YOU CAN GIVE TO YOUR CHILDREN.
THE GIFT OF MUSIC
Music has a unique way of shaping a child’s confidence, discipline, and creativity. For many, picking up an instrument is a hobby that fosters personal growth and a sense of achievement.
Sky Zito has spent over 20 years guiding young musicians in Guitar, Drums,
“IT’S
It’s even better when you see a student gain confidence and self-esteem as they progress on their instrument,” Sky explains. His approach to teaching is structured yet adaptable, ensuring each student’s lessons are tailored to their individual needs.
NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN AN INSTRUMENT!”
Bass, and Vocals, helping them develop both skill and passion. An example of his guitar lessons follow a structured approach, beginning with warm-ups and progressing through chord voicings, single-note leads, ear training, and a final performance piece.
Sky’s love for music began in childhood when he eagerly anticipated his weekly lessons. “I looked forward to my lessons every week and I looked up to my teachers! Not only were they great musicians, but they were also great role models,” he shares. Now, he’s dedicated to providing that same inspiration to his students.
Beyond learning to play an instrument, music helps kids build confidence. “It’s awesome to see a beginner learn to play their first piece of music!
For parents considering music education, Sky emphasizes the importance of involving children in the process. “Expose them to many different styles and instrumentation. Have them choose what instrument has the most appeal to them as well as finding favorite songs or styles. Having a positive mindset will lead to excitement and motivation, which will then lead to positive results!”
Sky Zito offers in-home lessons throughout West Austin, making it easy for families to bring music into their lives. Schedule a trial lesson at www.SkyZitoMusic.com . There’s no better time to start learning, and as Sky says, “It’s never too late to learn an instrument!”
BUILD, PROTECT, & GROW YOUR WEALTH
Financial planning isn’t just about growing wealth—it’s about protecting, optimizing, and aligning it with your goals. For professionals, business owners, and families, managing complex portfolios requires expert guidance, a customized approach, and a trusted advisor focused on long-term preservation.
Neil Kay, Founder of Old Vine Capital, has nearly two decades of experience in institutional asset management, including time at BlackRock, advising on billions of dollars in client assets. As demand for unbiased, fiduciary investment advice grew, he became a trusted resource for friends and community members. After leading executive discussions, hosting symposiums, and ringing the opening bell at the NYSE, he launched Old Vine Capital to provide institutional portfolio management and fiduciary investment advice to families, individuals, foundations, and institutions.
Neil sat down with us to discuss his approach, the current investment landscape, and how West Austin families can plan for long-term financial success.
Neil Kay, Founder of Old Vine Capital
WHAT FINANCIAL TRENDS SHOULD INDIVIDUALS BE AWARE OF IN 2025?
Stock and bond correlations are near record highs (0.72 through 1/31/25 via Morningstar), reducing the diversification benefit of the traditional 60/40 portfolio. This environment underscores the need for alternatives as low-correlation investments that can still generate risk-adjusted returns. At the same time, money market yields are continuing to decrease as the Fed gradually reduces interest rates. In both private and public markets, we believe some of the most significant investment opportunities of our generation lie in the ‘picks and shovels’ enabling the AI revolution.
HOW CAN BUSINESS OWNERS AND EXECUTIVES PROTECT AND GROW THEIR WEALTH?
Wealth is often created through concentrated equity positions and business ownership but is preserved through thoughtful and tax-efficient diversification strategies. We have seen multiple cases of rapid wealth creation
through company stock (Nvidia, OpenAI, Google, Apple, Meta, Cryptocurrencies, etc.), but we have also seen just as many cases of wealth being significantly eroded by failing to create an effective exit strategy.
Stock options can be an effective tool for managing risk, while custom individual stock indexing strategies can help harvest tax losses and reduce exposure to stocks or sectors correlated with their core business.
HOW DO YOU HELP CLIENTS ALIGN THEIR INVESTMENTS WITH PHILANTHROPIC AND SOCIAL VALUES?
Integrating each client’s unique philanthropic and social preferences is one of our favorite ongoing conversations. Many of our ultra-high-net-worth clients benefit from the tax advantages of opening a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). With a DAF, clients can donate highly appreciated stock held for over one year without paying capital gains taxes on the underlying stock while also receiving a tax deduction for the full market value of the donation.
CONTINUED >
On the impact investing front, we build highly customizable stock strategies aligned with client passions, including faith-based approaches, animal-friendly investments, environmental tilts, and social exclusions (e.g., gambling, tobacco, predatory lending, fracking, factory farming). We are able to construct individual stock strategies that align
“WE CONTINUALLY MONITOR CAPITAL MARKETS AND PROACTIVELY
ADJUST PORTFOLIOS TO ENSURE ALIGNMENT WITH EACH CLIENT’S OBJECTIVES AND THE CURRENT MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT.” – NEIL KAY, FOUNDER OF OLD VINE CAPITAL
with our clients’ preferences while maintaining low tracking error to indices like the S&P 500, Russell 3000, or MSCI ACWI. We can also align proxy voting with these values, giving clients a voice beyond their portfolio.
WHY IS WORKING WITH A FIDUCIARY INVESTMENT ADVISOR IMPORTANT?
When evaluating an investment advisory relationship, working with a fiduciary is the most important decision. The firm providing guidance should be separate from the custodian holding your money to avoid portfolios filled with mutual funds, annuities, life insurance, and ETFs that generate kickbacks through 12b-1 fees or revenue-sharing arrangements. Many non-fiduciary advisors are bonused for selling proprietary investment products. As a fiduciary firm, Old Vine Capital remains free of conflicts, focusing on low-cost, tax-efficient strategies tailored to each client’s long-term goals.
For those looking to take a strategic, customized approach to financial planning, Old Vine Capital offers personalized wealth management solutions. Schedule a consultation to learn more at OldVineCapital.com or email Info@oldvinecapital.com.

Experience Trackman-Powered Training, Fun Atmosphere & Proven Results at ROK Golf
ARTICLE BY MICHELLE WOOD PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROK GOLF
WHAT INSPIRED THE CREATION OF ROK GOLF IN BEE CAVE AND WESTLAKE?
In 2017, I discovered Trackman technology and realized golfers lacked access to this cutting-edge tool in a fun, high-energy setting. Traditional practice can feel repetitive, so I set out to integrate advanced analytics with an engaging atmosphere. Over the years, ROK Golf has grown into more than just a practice facility—it’s a complete golf experience designed to make learning efficient, enjoyable, and results-driven.
WHY SHOULD GOLFERS INVEST IN PLAYING WITH TRACKMAN TECHNOLOGY?
Trackman provides real-time data on club path, ball speed, launch angle, and more, giving golfers instant, actionable feedback. Unlike outdoor practice, our indoor setup eliminates weather and course variables, ensuring a consistent training environment. With simulated course play, skill challenges, and personalized training, ROK makes practice both productive and fun.
WHAT UPCOMING EVENTS OR SPECIAL PROMOTIONS ARE PLANNED FOR SPRING AND SUMMER?
Golf season is here, and we’re excited to offer a full calendar of events! Check out our social media for details on Masters Week Viewing Parties, Spring Leagues for Men & Women, and Mother’s & Father’s Day Deals. We’re also offering discounts on “Intro to ROK,” lesson packages, and monthly memberships. Follow @rokgolf or call (512) 856-GOLF for details.
The Road to Retirement
ARTICLE BY MICHELLE WOOD
Retirement planning is about securing a future that reflects your lifestyle and goals. Guy Weinhold, CFP® AAMS®, Financial Advisor, brings over 25 years of experience to his work at Edward Jones. Along with his team, including Stormy Burns, a Series 7 Registered Branch Associate, and Suzanne Naccarato, a Financial Paraplanner Qualified Professional, they take a personalized approach to financial planning. From managing income streams to adapting to market shifts, they help clients stay prepared for the evolving financial landscape.
Here’s what you need to know to build a secure and sustainable retirement:
Guy Weinhold, CFP® AAMS®, Edward Jones Financial Advisor
WHEN PLANNING FOR LONG-TERM INCOME STABILITY, WHAT ARE SOME KEY FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS INDIVIDUALS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND?
When it comes to stability, a Source of Guaranteed Income certainly plays a role, such as Social Security, Pensions, and Annuities, to help cover the lion’s share of essential expenses. Rising Income Streams are very important to keep up with Inflation, taxes, and Longevity. Flexibility & Contingency Planning is also a critical component.
WHAT STRATEGIES CAN HELP RETIREES EFFECTIVELY MANAGE THEIR SAVINGS AND WITHDRAWALS TO MAINTAIN FINANCIAL SECURITY?
Retirees should have a budget that incorporates a sustainable withdrawal strategy and plan for the unexpected. The 4% Rule is one common way often cited and a good starting point. Inflation definitely needs to be taken into account. Retirees should also look at their asset’s allocation in terms of short-term, mid-term, and long-term needs and goals.
Guy Weinhold, CFP® AAMS®, Edward Jones Financial Advisor
HOW DO INFLATION, MARKET FLUCTUATIONS, AND HEALTHCARE COSTS AFFECT RETIREMENT PLANNING?
Those are 3 Biggies! The best advice I can give is to have conversations with a Certified Financial Planner way before actually taking the leap to Full Retirement. Really understanding that there are going to be factors like those that you can’t control, but that you can prepare for and plan for. Knowing your Risk Tolerance as well as your Risk Capacity are crucial.
HOW CAN RETIREES STRUCTURE THEIR INCOME IN A WAY THAT SUPPORTS THEIR LONG-TERM FINANCIAL GOALS?
Taxes will be the largest expense for most retirees. Taking a Proactive Planning Approach several years prior to retiring can make a huge difference over a 20-30 year retirement. This is where ASSET LOCATION makes all the difference. There are several major considerations and strategies that come into place, such as when to take Social Security, Roth Conversions, and Required Minimum Distributions.
AS INDIVIDUALS PREPARE FOR RETIREMENT, WHAT CONVERSATIONS SHOULD THEY BE HAVING WITH THEIR FINANCIAL ADVISOR?
That’s a great question! It’s not all about the numbers. Most people take more time planning for a vacation than they do retirement. I can’t emphasize enough to talk about the emotional and psychological side. What would your perfect day look like in retirement? How about your perfect week? Perfect month? Don’t put the money bucket ahead of the Life Horse.
For those looking to take control of their financial future, Guy Weinhold, CFP® AAMS®, Financial Advisor, and his team offer guidance every step of the way. Learn more or schedule a consultation by visiting their Edward Jones office at 12700 Hill Country Blvd T-105, Bee Cave, TX 78738, or calling (512) 263-9499.

Protecting What Matters Most
A Conversation on Kids Protection Planning® with Dana Rieder, Attorney and Owner of Rieder Law, PC
Estate planning is often associated with retirees, but Dana Rieder, Attorney and Owner of Rieder Law, PC, believes it is just as essential for young families. After relocating to Texas with her husband and three children, she realized their estate plan—created in Pennsylvania—was outdated. “If something happens to us, what happens to our kids in the immediate aftermath?” she wondered. That concern led her to specialize in Kids Protection Planning®, ensuring parents have a plan to keep their children safe both immediately and long-term.
“I often thought, ‘If we are in an accident, what will happen to my kids while it is figured out who had the right to watch them?’ There would be a time delay, and it worried me,” Dana explains. “As I transitioned my practice from litigation to estate planning, I discovered my mentor, Ali Katz, who developed Kids Protection Planning® to ensure children are raised by the people parents choose. It was exactly what I wanted to provide for other families. After all, our children are our most important asset.”
Many parents assume a will is enough, but Dana clarifies, “Naming ‘Godparents’ is not the same as naming a guardian. Guardianship is not immediate—it still requires a court appointment by a judge.”
Kids Protection Planning® includes both temporary guardians and permanent guardianship nominations, along with a medical power of attorney and detailed caregiver instructions. “Without these safeguards, if multiple people want to serve as a guardian, only a judge can decide, and that decision may not align with the parents’ wishes.”
The Kids Protection Plan® ensures children are never placed in the care of strangers and allows parents to legally exclude individuals they would never want raising their children. DIY kits are available on RiederLawPC.KidsProtectionPlan.com, or parents can schedule a Life and Legacy Planning Session.
Call (512) 569-0009 or visit RiederLaw. com/Schedule-Online for more information. Weekly updates and resources are available on Facebook at @RiederLawPC

My goal is to keep these kids young while also meeting their demands for personal style,” says Michael.
Anderson Parker features an array of beloved brands, including TRVL Design, The Beaufort Bonnet Company, Florence Eiseman, Mon Ami, The Proper Peony, Patachou, Mar Mar Copenhagen, and a selection of local Austin brands.
