With over two and a half decades of experience, Mr. Vineyard has established a successful career in finance and investment services, specializing in ultra-high-net-worth individuals. He currently excels as managing director and chief executive officer of Astra Wealth Management Group LLC, a position he has held since 2007.

Laying a solid educational foundation, he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance and international business organization from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1999 and became a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) in 2016.
In his current role, he manages a financial services company with seven partners and leads a team of 15 professionals. He focuses on serving a select group of ultra-high-net-worth clients, aiming to work with only 20 clients with a net worth of $20 million or more to ensure personalized and exceptional service. For the past 15 years, he has specialized in the ultra-high-net-worth segment, navigating daily challenges that require constant attention to client needs. He is committed to modernizing the industry, incorporating more ecological initiatives, and catering to the financial needs of younger generations. His leadership is centered around offering tailored wealth management solutions and staying ahead of industry trends.
Additionally, Mr. Vineyard dedicates his time as a sponsor for a soccer program in Colombia that offers a safe environment for children in impoverished areas and helps them develop essential life skills. He strives to promote local trade training for women, motivated by a desire for his daughters to have the same opportunities he had. Reflecting on his path, he considers his transition to an independent firm his most significant achievement, as it allowed him to serve clients more effectively. In light of his impressive undertakings, he was honored with the Best Place to Work Award in 2024, the Top Adviser Award for Texas State from Forbes in 2023, and the Best-In-State Wealth Management Teams for Astra Wealth Management Group, also from Forbes in 2023.
Mr. Vineyard attributes his success to his commitment to helping others and his passion for the industry. He prioritizes the well-being of his clients over personal gain and views them as partners rather than business opportunities. Raised with strong values of service and responsibility, he focuses on being a good steward of his clients’ wealth. He also credits his family, as they are his top priority, and draws motivation from sports. Looking to the future, he and his team are focused on launching several organizations to assist start-ups and provide valuable support to those in need and ensure they do not get left behind in today’s competitive landscape. He advises aspiring professionals that no single approach is fully effective in building a successful practice. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing small successes, what he calls the “crumbs,” and diligently working through them.
