Now in its sixteenth year, the publication’s award spotlights the best and brightest minds of San Diego County.

Based in downtown San Diego, Define Financial is a financial planning firm catering to individuals and small businesses. Schulte founded the company in early 2014, after spending years as a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley and launching the San Diego operations for Beverly Hills Wealth Management.
