Meet Randy Weaver
Randy Weaver is a seasoned professional with more than 25 years in the financial services industry and the Founder of Fortress Financial, a firm specializing in tax-based income planning, risk mitigation, pre-retirement, in-retirement, and multi-generation retirement strategies.
His background includes licensure in securities, life and health insurance, long-term care, commodities, and commodities branch management. In addition to earning a bachelor’s degree from Humboldt Polytechnic University, Randy completed required graduate-level coursework to teach in the state of California and pursued Certified Financial Planner studies at UC Irvine, reflecting a lifelong commitment to professional excellence.
Before entering finance, Randy served in the U.S. Navy’s Nuclear Program and worked in the environmental field, while also coaching a variety of sports and counseling adult employees. His transition into financial services was driven not by profit, but by a personal need to better understand financial systems for the well-being of his own family.
Today, Randy brings a rare blend of technical expertise, strategic insight, and genuine empathy to the families he serves. Supported by an elite professional network and visually dynamic planning software, he helps clients interact with, understand, and take ownership of their financial future.
Raised under modest circumstances, Randy’s life experiences instilled resilience, hope, and a passion for helping others succeed. After nearly 40 years of marriage, raising seven children, coaching thousands of youth and adults, and counseling dozens of employees, he measures success by the accomplishments of others, those he has touched, and those who have touched him.
His mission remains clear: helping individuals and families answer life’s toughest financial questions while guiding them through retirement and helping pass assets to the next generation.

Our Philosophy
At Fortress Financial, we believe the mark of a life well spent is one where you are true to your values—honesty, hard work, and respect for others. We know relationships are important, and that earning someone’s trust is sacred.
Plan a Comfortable and Secure Retirement
Peace of mind isn’t for sale—but it can be achieved through thoughtful planning and consistent effort. The key is building trustworthy relationships with professionals who educate you about retirement options while offering proven, real-world solutions tailored to your needs and concerns.
Our Mission
When we talk about the ways wealth and financial stability can define the individual, it has little to do with a balance sheet and more to do with a balanced life. True wealth is all that money can’t buy—and death can’t take away.
It takes far more than financial planning. It requires a comprehensive approach with as much imagination as innovation—creativity paired with careful calculation.
As your trusted advisor, we are dedicated to helping you reach a higher purpose for your wealth and design a lasting legacy for your family. We leverage deep industry knowledge, a vast network of specialized services, and a passion for serving you.
