Don R. Martin, CFP®
Family Officer
After three decades in financial services—including time at Merrill Lynch, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo—I realized something was missing.
Families had access to products, but not purpose. Advice, but not alignment. Results, but not meaning.
So I built Horizon Advisors—a multi-family office designed to steward lives of intention, not just portfolios. As a CFP® and founder, I lead a team of subject-matter experts in tax, estate, investments, and risk—all aligned around one goal: your values, your vision, your legacy.
My work lives at the intersection of financial strategy and personal leadership. I guide successful families to build lives rich with clarity, fulfillment, and peace of mind.
I live in Westlake Village with Susan—my wife of 33 years, Human Resources leader, and black belt in Tae Kwon Do. We love escapes to Maui and Santa Barbara, though these days, a crime drama and a quiet evening often win out. We also find joy in serving our community alongside our Rotary Club friends.
Our son, Kyle, is rising fast in the corporate dining world, where his passion for cooking and drive to grow are on full display. A musician in his spare time, he still shares his love of music—and a great meal—whenever he can.
When I’m not guiding clients, you’ll find me reading about peak performance, TRX training with Susan to recharge, or practicing the spoken word with my local Toastmasters club.
Contribution is a core value for me. I’ve served as President of the Rotary Club of Westlake Village Sunrise, Assistant District Governor for the five Conejo Valley Rotary Clubs, and recently completed a term on the Board of Directors at the Yarrow Family YMCA.
