Rusty Welch
President
Rusty Welch has been a proud resident of Colorado since he moved here from Oklahoma in 1973. He first entered the risk management business in 1971 and has been proving and perfecting his current financial strategies since 2000 when he learned that the standard and accepted methods were flawed and tax inefficient once the client was in retirement. He finds great joy in educating and teaching his client those sound investment strategies using his proprietary system of putting their current plan on trial for its life. When Rusty isn’t busy working with his clients or mentoring others he enjoys building and racing high performance cars.

Diane Lopes
Diane started her career selling life insurance over 25 years ago. She traveled the country for several years to help nurses with their insurance needs, resulting in a unique opportunity to live in and experience people and places across the US.
As Diane found a passion in freeing clients from debt, she connected with Rusty Welch of Resilient Financial. Drawn to the truth of this financial approach, Diane became a licensed agent and works with Resilient Financial to teach clients how to grow, save and enjoy a tax-free retirement. She is also affiliated with Kingdom Advisors.
Desiring to finish her degree, Diane moved back to Los Angeles and earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in English at UCLA. Several years later, Diane relocated to Denver and became involved in real estate investing. She spent many years buying, selling and rehabbing real estate. After 2008, Diane found a heavy need for credit repair and debt elimination. She discovered a solution to rapid debt repayment and established her own company where she taught people how to become debt free within a very short time. Once her clients were debt free, Diane wanted to maintain a relationship with them and realized that becoming involved in the financial services industry was a natural fit.
Diane enjoys Bible study, reading, cycling, skiing, windsurfing, scuba diving, body surfing and most anything involving a beach.
Paul Luchau was born and raised in Rochester Minnesota. He entered the financial services industry in 1985 as a mortgage lender and immediately began to educate others about how money works. After observing so many individuals and families doing with their money what everyone else was doing with theirs, he set out to understand how the wealthy got to where they were.

After observing so many individuals and families doing with their money what everyone else was doing with theirs, he set out to understand how the wealthy got to where they were.
Paul is committed to education. He enjoys public speaking and teaches a 2-hour CE class to the Real Estate community where he equips Real Estate agents with the skills needed to help their clients participate in real estate ownership.
In 1999 Paul expanded his expertise in another area of money and finance when he joined the insurance and investment advisory business in Minneapolis Minnesota. Unlike so many others in his field who concentrate on rate of return, his work focuses on showing the wisdom of avoiding wealth transfers – monies that are often transferred away – unknowingly and unnecessarily. In the Fall of 2005, he moved to Colorado bringing that same passion to teach and enlighten others with his experience and knowledge.
Paul attended the University of Minnesota, receiving a Bachelor of Science Business degree from the Carlson School of Management with a Minor in Economics.

Scot is an avid sports fan, loves to travel and tries to fit in as much golf as he can. He also loves reading – enjoying fiction, personal development and financial topics. On weekends, you can often find him working on some sort of “building” project around the house.
His love of sports has led him to coach youth sports over the years – baseball, football, basketball, soccer and hockey. He finds great pleasure in helping young athletes apply the lessons they learn on the field to the rest of their lives.
