Working in conjunction with other experts in the field of estate planning, including attorneys and judges, Dr. Depew primarily serves retirees to make arrangements for future wealth management.

Other civic accomplishments to his credit include his work with Gideons International, a nonprofit Evangelical Christian association, through which he spent eight years, the fourth Sunday of every month, working monthly at Butler County Prison.
In accounting for his success, Dr. Depew credits the influence of his grandmother, Jennie Depew, whose poetry and compassionate demeanor inspired him. Likewise, he finds great comfort and support from his wife, Joan, who taught him how to relax and enjoy the small things in life. Dr. Depew looks upon the years ahead with hope and anticipation and aspires to care for his health, continue to work diligently for his clients, and travel the world.
