Since entering the financial industry in 2013, Caleb has been dedicated to shaping a vision for what financial services should embody. A proud alumnus of the University of Iowa, his lifelong fascination with financial markets and investing has evolved into a profound professional passion.

Caleb began his career at a large firm, providing comprehensive financial planning and investment advice primarily to medical professionals. He later enhanced his skills as a wealth manager for a commercial bank, where he developed significant relationships with successful business owners. These diverse roles in various financial environments sparked Caleb’s desire to challenge the status quo and push beyond traditional boundaries.

Driven by a commitment to excellence, Caleb founded Montag Investments, a boutique firm specializing in serving high-net-worth individuals. Montag Investments offers bespoke financial planning and investment strategies that stand out for their quality and customization.

With eight years of experience in the financial services industry, Ben Dingwell has carved out a niche as a skilled operations specialist. Initially considering a career as an advisor or analyst while completing his college education, Ben took a position at a local Broker Dealer to better understand the industry. His first role as a transition consultant involved working directly with Montag Investments, which not only introduced him to the company but also highlighted his aptitude for operations over client-facing roles.

After refining his skills and gaining valuable experience with a second broker dealer, Ben joined Montag Investments as the Head of Operations. Today, he is recognized as an integral piece of the firm’s fabric, adept at solving complex operational challenges. Ben’s expertise allows him to effectively streamline operations, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently. This, in turn, frees up Caleb to focus his time and attention on client service and strategic planning.

Ben’s pragmatic and solution-oriented approach has made him an indispensable part of Montag Investments, where his contributions continue to enhance the firm’s operational excellence and client satisfaction.
