We guide your wealth with purpose, helping you create a life well lived.

Firm Origin & Philosophy

Founded in August 2013 as Hughes & Wallington Wealth Management by partners Jack Hughes and Brooks Wallington, our St. Petersburg based financial planning and wealth management firm has always been grounded in trust, lasting relationships, and personal guidance.

In 2025, after Jack Hughes’ retirement, Brooks saw an opportunity to reshape the advisory experience. Committed to his clients’ financial security and overall well-being, he asked a powerful guiding question: “What good is wealth if you don’t have the health to enjoy it?” From this vision, H&W Advisors was created: a firm that goes beyond traditional wealth management by integrating comprehensive financial planning with holistic well-being. With more than two decades of experience, Brooks leads H&W Advisors in St. Petersburg with an approach that aligns money, health, and purpose, helping clients build not only wealth but meaningful, well-rounded lives.

Brooks’ Story and Mission

Brooks’ personal transformation is at the heart of H&W Advisors’ mission: helping clients St Petersburg and nationwide find balance between wealth and vitality through thoughtful wealth planning. Over the years, he saw many clients with strong portfolios yet little energy, fulfillment, or time to enjoy them. H&W Advisors was created to change that.

His journey makes this mission deeply personal. After suffering a severe back injury at a young age, he spent years living with pain instead of addressing it. Through strength training, mobility work, meditation, breathwork, and other healthy practices, he gradually rebuilt his body and reclaimed his life.

Today, Brooks lives pain-free and enjoys an active lifestyle that once seemed out of reach. He spends time biking, swimming and running with his children, paddleboarding and fishing on the water, and traveling to hike, snorkel, and even climb mountains.

His transformation reflects the core philosophy of H&W Advisors: financial success is most meaningful when paired with physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Brooks’ story shows that living fully means building both the resources and the vitality to enjoy them, and that is what true wealth planning in St. Petersburg is all about.
