Peak Financial Guidance was founded by Adam Horning, CFP®, CLU®, ChFC®. Adam spent nearly 14 years in the financial planning profession with a large broker dealer and insurance firm. As the planning profession and related technology and services changed over time, Adam decided that his clients would be best served by becoming a Registered Investment Adviser within the state of Colorado. As an RIA, Adam can engage in sophisticated, fee-based financial planning using the most current technology for his clients. In his role as an independent financial adviser, he is able to bring his clients investment and insurance planning solutions from some the worlds most respected firms.
Adam developed an interest in financial planning profession early in life after witnessing the effects of poor access to financial resources and economic opportunity within the community where he lived in his hometown of Detroit. Watching those in his community struggle with their retirement needs, Adam worked diligently to educate himself as a financial adviser so that he could then use his knowledge to help others create their best futures. Years later, Adam is now an expert in his field. He brings value to his clients by implementing strategic investment planning and insurance solutions to help create security at every stage of the journey.
Adam also understands that life can throw you a curve ball from time to time. Whether it’s an unexpected health diagnosis, experiencing the emotional and financial difficulty of a divorce, the loss of a loved one, or an unexpected job change, Adam has experienced and helped clients navigate some of life’s challenges and is committed to being there to provide counsel through all of life’s events.
Adam understands the importance investing not only in your retirement accounts, but in all aspects of life. To you, investing may mean having the ability to travel throughout the world, purchasing a vacation home, spending more time with your kids, giving more to your church or charity, or starting your own business. When he’s not helping others with their future, Adam enjoys spending time with his wife Natalie and their 5 kids at the family cabin, cheering on the kids at a sports event, skiing, biking, hiking, hunting, camping, fishing, attending the theater, working on projects at home and reading.
At Peak Financial Guidance, we believe the investment in your quality of life is just as powerful as the investment in a retirement account. When choosing your wealth management adviser, invest in Adam J. Horning and invest in your future.

Doug Klein, Financial Advisor, has always had a passion for helping people achieve their goals. He joined Peak Financial Guidance in 2025 and provides his clients with solution based advisory services that are tailored to his client’s unique situation and personal goals.
Doug has spent his life helping people both as a pastor and a financial consultant. He learned how to provide comprehensive financial solutions by helping his mother during the latter years of her life. He worked with her financial advisor, making all the recommendations. He learned the challenges of planning for a mother, who lived to almost 99 years of age. He chose solutions for her that increased her revenue stream while protecting her capital even while her medical expenses were escalating.
He approaches every client in the same way as he did his mother. His goal is to make sure his clients will have enough money to live with dignity for the rest of their lives. He aids in the developing of a longer-term plan to pass on legacy gifts to the client’s children and grandchildren.
Stock picking and portfolio development has been a personal passion for many years. One of his unique quirks is relaxing while studying stock charts. Doug is a student of the market and has been building and growing his own portfolio for many years. He is equally at home in developing portfolio strategies for very conservative investors who look to conserve capital through dividend income as well as with clients who want to see steady, consistent, and powerful growth. Doug thrives on helping his clients reach their goals with the least amount of risk. He is convinced that real wealth creation can take place with proper discipline and attention to detail.
Doug is an active family person, who loves walking, reading, and rooting for his Broncos, Red Sox, and Nuggets. He has three grown children who are a huge part of his legacy. He is married to Cheryl who is his partner and best friend. They enjoy long walks and finding new scrumptious restaurants together.
Most importantly, Doug is a great listener, who wants to hear your story and help you achieve your financial dreams.
