Our team traces its history back to 2005 when Dave Preszler joined Curt Bennett to form The Bennett Group, which became Bennett-Preszler Wealth Management in 2016.

We updated the name to Preszler Wealth Planning, a service of D.A. Davidson & Co., in 2022 when Curt started his well-earned retirement after a successful 26-year career.

We are proud to be a part of the Southern Oregon community.

We believe in getting involved in local events, serving on not-for-profit boards and sponsoring community ventures to help strengthen this valley we all call home. We work hard to help our clients think through their charitable intentions and guide them to support causes they care about in financially smart and savvy ways.

Our local roots run deep. Dave was raised in Siskiyou County and moved to the Rogue Valley in 1997, just two years after finishing his undergraduate college degree. Diane Holt, our team's associate financial advisor, and our team's client associates, Amanda Bailey and Maddy Dalton, were all born and raised in the Rogue Valley.
