About Us

Russell McNorton – President

Retirement is not a destination.  Retirement is a journey.  You don’t arrive at the perfect retirement.  You create it.  This is why Synergy Capital Family Offices was formed.  It takes a team to create the perfect retirement and an efficient path to it.  Russell McNorton was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas.  He graduated from Marry Carrol High School in 1991 and joined the US Army.  He was stationed in Kentucky with the 101st Airborne division.  His goal was to be a police officer for the City of Corpus Christi just like his father.  Russell joined the Corpus Christi Police department in July 1994.  He is very passionate about helping people.  In 1997, if was offered a position to work with American General and took the position on a part-time basis.  In 2000 he resigned from the Police Department and took on a full-time position as a financial advisor.  Russell had earned licenses as a General Securities Registered Representative, and Services 6 Investment Company Products / Variable Life Contracts Representative.  He is currently completing his master’s in Accounting and Business Finance.  In 2002, he created Strategic Financial Concepts, an RIA, and manages over 125,000,000 under management.  This practice was sold in 2007 and is currently still running strong.

Armed with the knowledge he’s gained from over 25 years of experience, Russell and his team developed Synergy Capital to be a family office.  Life is very complicated, and it takes a sophisticated plan to help you get from here to retirement and then focus on the transition of assets to your family.  Our proprietary system creates the ideal guidance for families and those planning to retire to achieve the financial dreams they desire.

At home, Russell loves spending time with his family.  He has been married for over 25 years to the love of his life, Gayle, and they have eight awesome children.  Alyssa, Mykaela, Russell, Patrick, Ellayna, Paul, Mathew, and Maximus.

Russell is a member of the Corpus Christi Rotary Club, the Knights of Columbus, and Catholic Charities.  Russell also enjoys playing sports with his children, cooking for his family, and most of all being a daddy.
