Pat Ware knows – transparency and trust are the keys to successful relationships in life. She pioneered Ware Financial Group to utilize a planning-based investment approach that helps people who don’t know where to turn regarding financial matters. In her role as Managing Partner, Pat has built a community business that is as transparent as it is focused on educating clients so they can make the best decisions possible.

Over her 22-year career in financial services, Pat has always strived to strike a balance between risk and return that keeps everyone involved from being uncomfortable with the markets. Resourceful and creative, she utilizes her problem-solving abilities to help clients maintain footing when life throws them for a loop. She graduated magna cum laude from Northern Illinois and spent a good bit of time in the distribution industry before going on to earn her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® designation and becoming a financial advisor. In addition, she’s been recognized as Platinum Council in 2012, 2014 and again in 2020.  The Platinum Council distinction is held by a select group of Financial Advisors within Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network as measured by one or more of the following: completion of educational components, business production from the previous year, and professionalism.  Additional consideration many have included best practices and team structures.

A transplant from the Midwest, Pat has found peace in the ‘lake life’ for 28 years at Oconee. She has served as a volunteer firefighter, was a long-tenured Rotarian, and actively runs a Meals on Wheels route, and has owned a therapy dog because she believes in serving her community both charitably and professionally. When you see Pat, ask her how her two Great Danes are doing, or about her and her husband’s experiences on the golf course, and how her four grandchildren are doing – these are her passions!

For Kyle Ware, the key to clarity is open dialogue. As a Managing Partner and Financial Advisor at Ware Financial Group, he breaks down complicated topics without using excessive industry jargon to help his clients gain a greater understanding of their financial picture. He relies on personalized education and frequent communication to provide solutions for his clients.

While building nearly a decade of experience at Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo Advisors, Kyle recognized the best way to give advice to his clients was to first get to know their past experiences – good and bad. His addition to the team signifies Ware’s promise of continuity for current clients and future generations to come. With the TEAM approach at Ware, both he and Pat strive to give advice that fully considers a client’s situation.

Outside of the office, Kyle and his wife Sarah have traveled extensively and continue to do so with their two children. When he gets some time to himself, Kyle heeds the call of the outdoors. Often, you’ll find him adventuring through the woods or honing his archery skills at the range.
