David Snavely: A Legacy of Financial Mastery and Community Commitment

My name is David Snavely, and for the past 36 years, I’ve been navigating the intricate financial landscape of Seattle, Washington. Born and raised in this vibrant city, I’ve built a reputation as a financial maestro, using my skills to help people achieve their financial goals. I founded Sound Investment Services not only as a means to achieve financial success for my clients but also as a platform to demonstrate my commitment to community and philanthropy.

Establishing Sound Investment Services


The legacy of Sound Investment Services spans over three decades. It began as a passion project and has evolved into a cornerstone of Seattle's financial community. In my free time, I dedicate myself to lecturing and sharing my extensive financial knowledge with others. This commitment to education led me to establish Puget Sound Annuities, a firm designed to offer personalized financial plans that cater to each client’s unique needs.


At Puget Sound Annuities, where I serve as the head, I specialize in retirement income planning, guiding clients through the complexities of securing their financial futures. I personally work with each individual, ensuring that their financial strategies are customized to meet their specific goals. Our comprehensive services include retirement planning, estate planning, insurance, and investments, all designed to help clients achieve long-term success.


A Holistic Approach to Financial Planning


My approach to financial planning goes beyond just numbers. Much like my love for the outdoors, I take a holistic perspective when crafting financial strategies. I believe that financial goals should align with a person’s values and lifestyle, ensuring that their financial plans support the life they want to live.


As the founder of Sound Investment Services of Des Moines, my leadership extends beyond Puget Sound Annuities. Our firm operates with values of integrity, expertise, and a client-centric approach, offering a wide range of services and financial products. Whether in Seattle or beyond, Sound Investment Services has become a trusted resource for individuals seeking sound financial guidance.


Commitment to Philanthropy and Community Service


What sets me apart in the financial world is my unwavering commitment to philanthropy and community service. As a dedicated traveler and outdoorsman, I generously contribute my time, money, and expertise to local charities and non-profit initiatives, demonstrating my belief in giving back to the community.


Since starting my financial career in 1993, I’ve faced many challenges, but my dedication to both clients and community has never wavered. My early career saw success at prominent firms such as United Planners and Investors Capital Corporation, setting the stage for the foundation of my own firms.


Recognitions and Awards: A Testament to Excellence


Over the years, I’ve been honored with several prestigious awards that highlight my dedication to the financial industry. In 2023, I was honored with the F&G Life Power Producer Award, a recognition of my commitment and achievements. Additionally, in 2021, I received the Outstanding Achievement Award from Aegis Financial, further showcasing my dedication to providing excellent service.


In 2015, I became a member of the Pacific Life Advisory Council, an honor I earned for consistently delivering outstanding service to my clients. These recognitions reflect not only my success but also my dedication to continuing to serve the Seattle community and my clients with excellence.


A Legacy of Financial Success and Community Impact


My journey is about more than just financial success. It’s a story of commitment, integrity, and a desire to positively impact both the financial and local communities in Seattle and beyond. Through Sound Investment Services and Puget Sound Annuities, I continue to build a legacy of financial mastery and community-focused leadership.
