AIF® PRINCIPAL

Eric P. Wilby

Eric is the principal at Ascent Wealth Management, LLC., a wealth management firm that is located in Allentown, PA and focuses primarily on individual families transitioning from working for their retirement savings to having their retirement savings work for them. Eric is affiliated with LPL Financial. Ascent Wealth Management, LLC also has clients in the non-profit, qualified retirement plans, trust and institutional categories.

Eric has a goal of eventually climbing a significant mountain and believes that the struggle of achieving a difficult task like climbing a challenging mountain is similar to that of saving enough to retire comfortably. This idea was the genesis of Ascent Wealth Management and drives our team to helping every family and organization we work with toward reaching their own financial summits.

Outside of work and family, he is active in several community organizations and is currently a board member for the Little Lehigh chapter of Trout Unlimited and a member of the Breinigsville VFW, Topton Legion, St. Joseph the Worker Parish, Kutztown University Alumni Assoc. and, Lehigh River Stocking Association.
