DENVER, CO, April 17, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Steven W. Harp, CFP®, ChFC®, AIF®, CLU®, CLTC®, has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Harp has established himself as a leading expert in comprehensive financial planning, investment management, insurance, tax services and estate planning. Over the course of nearly two decades, he has demonstrated a commitment to excellence and innovation in the financial services sector.

Since 2015, Mr. Harp has served as the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Colorado Wealth Group in Denver, Colorado. In this capacity, he manages a team of ten professionals and leads the company through its ongoing growth. He and his team are responsible for conducting systematic client meetings that address all aspects of financial planning, educating clients on complex financial matters and providing fiduciary advice with accountability. Additionally, he oversees special projects such as in-house tax services and develops the firm's vision for comprehensive wealth management. His most notable achievement at Colorado Wealth Group has been building an exceptional company culture and acquiring top talent. He takes pride in fostering a workplace where team members feel valued and motivated, which has resulted in a nearly zero client attrition rate and steady business growth.

Prior to founding Colorado Wealth Group, Mr. Harp worked as a Wealth Management Advisor at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company in Colorado while also serving two years as a volunteer finance chairman for the Pikes Peak Council Boy Scouts of America in Colorado Springs.

Earlier in his career, from 2005 to 2009, Mr. Harp held the position of National Sales Manager and Senior Endurance Coach at Carmichael Training Systems in Colorado Springs. This experience honed his leadership skills and instilled in him a disciplined approach that would later benefit his transition into financial services.

Mr. Harp's academic background includes a bachelor's degree in exercise and nutritional sciences from the University of Missouri-Columbia, completed in 2004. He has also earned several distinguished certifications that underscore his expertise, including designations such as the Chartered Financial Consultant™ (ChFC®) and Chartered Life Underwriter™ (CLU®) from The American College of Financial Services, Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®), Accredited Investment Fiduciary™ (AIF®), and Certified in Long-term Care™ (CLTC®).

Reflecting on his career, Mr. Harp attributes his success to the unwavering support of his family—particularly his wife, whose decision to pause her nursing career enabled him to focus on building his business—and to the discipline cultivated through his athletic background as a former triathlete and marathon runner. He credits his relentless pursuit of improvement and hard work as key drivers behind his achievements. Additionally, he acknowledges the contributions of his business partner, Jacob Ray, and the exceptionally talented team members who have helped shape Colorado Wealth Group's unique culture.

Furthermore, Mr. Harp credits the mentors he had during his first five years at Northwestern Mutual as instrumental to his success, noting he would not have navigated that formative period without their guidance. He also recognizes that less positive mentorship experiences provided valuable lessons, reinforcing his belief that both strong and poor examples can be equally instructive.

Mr. Harp's entry into the financial profession followed a successful tenure as a swim instructor and endurance sports coach. While coaching allowed him to help others achieve their goals, he sought greater financial stability for his family. Encouraged by a financial advisor who recognized his disciplined nature, he transitioned into wealth management—a field where he could apply both his coaching mentality and drive for progress toward a goal.

Beyond his professional responsibilities, Mr. Harp is actively involved in civic initiatives throughout Denver. He and his firm partners with Junior Achievement Rocky Mountain, volunteering monthly with his team to promote youth financial literacy. The team also mentors high school juniors and seniors on a quarterly basis as they prepare for graduation and navigate their financial futures. In his free time, he also enjoys mountain biking, hiking, cycling and traveling with family, including his wife and two sons.

Looking ahead, Mr. Harp aims to expand Colorado Wealth Group by hiring additional advisors and broadening the range of integrated financial services offered under one roof. His vision is to create a full-service firm where clients can access personalized financial planning, investment management, tax services, estate planning, insurance and lending solutions—such as mortgages, refinancing options, home equity loans—all within one organization. By continuing to innovate and prioritize advice-driven service over asset management alone, he seeks to deliver greater value for clients while distinguishing Colorado Wealth Group within the industry.
