Creating Your Next Chapter

Ed Gaskey has spent nearly three decades helping individuals and families make confident financial decisions and prepare intentionally for what comes next.

Based in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, Ed has built his career and community relationships close to home while helping people think more intentionally about major life transitions and the years ahead. His Westmoreland County page brings those ideas into a more local conversation about community, purpose, and what comes next.

As a financial planning professional, Ed has built his work around comprehensive planning, lasting relationships, and helping clients move from accumulation toward greater clarity and confidence about the future.

Over the years, many of those conversations moved beyond numbers. People knew when they hoped to retire, but the more personal question was often harder: what did they actually want retirement to look like?

Why This Work Matters

For Ed, the financial plan is the foundation, not the finish line. The deeper work begins when people define the life, relationships, priorities, and sense of purpose they want that plan to support.

What comes next deserves the same intention as everything it took to get there.

Those conversations about retirement, financial freedom, purpose, and transition helped shape the ideas behind Creating Your Next Chapter and Ed's focus on clarity, purpose, passion, and vision.

Beyond the Numbers

Financial planning is ultimately about helping people make the most of the life they have worked hard to build while preparing for what comes next.

More About EdShow Less

While raising their two daughters, Katie and Lindsey, Ed and Christine also helped care for aging parents. Those experiences gave Ed a personal understanding of the financial, emotional, and family considerations that often accompany caring for loved ones while balancing the needs of multiple generations.

Katie is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and works as a marketing professional. Lindsey is currently attending college, where she is studying Sports and Exercise Performance Psychology.

Their family also includes three dogs, who are very much part of the family.

Ed built his financial planning practice from the ground up with the goal of creating something that would serve clients for generations, not simply for the length of his own career. Today, he leads a team of financial professionals committed to carrying that vision forward.
