Matt West and David Combs work together and are long-time Roswell residents. Their work at Canton Wealth Partners is serious, but family and community always come first. In this, our investment issue, we wanted to introduce you to two of your neighbors and hear how they invest their most precious assets - their time.  

Dave and Kristen Combs moved to Roswell immediately after getting married at St. Andrew Church on the river in Roswell. Their first home was in the Whitehall neighborhood and they moved to Grand Veridian in 2001 where they raised their kids, Tyler and Ryan, and have lived ever since. Dave spent many years as a volunteer baseball coach at Sandy Plains Baseball in Marietta where Ryan played. They attend St Peter Chanel Catholic Church. He and Kristen’s go-to spots are Lazaro’s Cuban Cuisine for lunch or dinner, the Vick for breakfast and lunch, and Crazy Love for coffee. Ryan’s pick is Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar. They watch their nephews play tennis at Roswell Area Park and Dave still attends Blessed Trinity and Roswell High games since Ryan went to BT and Taylor is a Roswell High grad.

“I would love for Roswell to keep the feeling of community and family and allow for continued balanced growth,” says Dave. We couldn’t agree more.

Matt West and his family moved to Roswell in 2008 from Sandy Springs for better schools and to experience a small town inside the big city feel. He moved the business here so that his efforts for clients and employees might also help the community they had come to love.  Also, being closer to their kids’ schools and after school activities allowed Matt to take a more active role in their children’s lives, cutting his daily commute by up to three hours.  He and wife Scarlotte have three children, Winslett, John Lucian, and Banks.

Matt has coached more than 20 teams over multiple sports for his kids’ teams through the Roswell Rec. Their daughter is a small group leader at Northpoint Church where they are active members. They share the Comb’s appreciation for Lazaro’s, The Vick, Crazy Love and also Hugo’s Oyster House and Wegman’s. 

You can find Dave and Matt at Canton Wealth Partners.

"Whether it’s the development of a family wealth legacy plan or the implementation of a retirement income distribution schedule, we will use a customized financial approach to help you pursue your passions," Matt says.
