About Tom

Born and raised in the small town ski resort mountain community of Summit County Colorado, Tom Miller is a world class investor, business professional, snowboarder, competitive pinball player, entrepreneur and author of “Trail Map to Retirement: Your Journey to Endless Powder Days” a snowboarder and skiers guide to retirement planning.

Miller studied Small Business at Ft. Lewis College in Durango Colorado and Mesa State College in Grand Junction Colorado and has been working with Centaurus Financial since 2007.

Miller has a varied skill set from a variety of experiences. He has owned and operated a plethora of small businesses, including landscape maintenance and a sports film company.  Before his career in the financial services industry, he built management experience directing 100+ employees at a food delivery service.

Miller has filmed and appeared on many national and international sports and television networks including ESPN, ESPN 2, Fox Sports Net, History Channel, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, RSN, RSNX, and Altitude. He feels fortunate to have coached and advised many professional and Olympic athletes.

Mentored by experts including his father in the professions of retirement income planning, wealth preservation and enhancement, and investment strategies, Miller has devoted his life to being the shepherd  and caretaker of his clients, friends, and their families financial well being during his career as the Chief Financial Officer of Peak One Financial Services.

“At an early age I had experienced the joys and struggles of early retirement.  The success of my business allowed me to work for 4 months during the summer months to enjoy the remaining 8 months of the year on the slopes coaching and training and competing in snowboarding.

I sold my business at the age of 21 to join the professional freestyle snowboard tour but my athletic career only lasted 5 years as it was cut short by injury. Although I felt forced to retire earlier than planned, I had already gained extensive knowledge and experience in the world of business and finance and decided to empower others to create the financial success they deserve.”

With a formal background in the areas of investments, life and long term care insurance, self employed retirement accounts such as Roth, SEP, SIMPLE, and traditional IRA’s and annuities, as well as employer sponsored plans that include 401k’s 403B, 401a, and 457 plans, Miller has taught retirement planning class and investment strategy courses at community college campuses as well as universities around the state of Colorado since 2007.

In 2013 Miller partnered with his father Bruce to launch Peak One Financial Services an independent investment firm.

“I help individuals and families improve their lives and create positive priceless memories through a process of setting investment goals, designing plans, and selecting investments so that they may achieve those goals in the shortest amount of time yet in the most efficient, cost effective and safest (risk reducing) ways possible.”
