Blake Warthen

Recent Business Economics Graduate | Focused on Financial Planning & Wealth Management

About Me

Hi, I’m Blake Warthen, a Business Economics graduate from Salisbury University (May 2025), with a Finance minor and a strong foundation in financial strategy, data analysis, and entrepreneurship. I completed my degree in just three years, demonstrating my drive, focus, and commitment to growth.

I’m passionate about financial planning and wealth management, and my experience reflects both analytical rigor and hands-on business acumen. While interning at a nonprofit, I contributed to fundraising strategy, donor engagement, and long-term financial planning. I also founded and ran my own company, Pure Stream Power Washing, LLC, where I led operations, marketing, and customer outreach—gaining valuable insight into business ownership and client relationships.

Whether I’m analyzing financial data, building partnerships, or managing strategic goals, I bring a proactive and solution-oriented mindset to everything I do. I'm actively seeking opportunities to help individuals and families achieve financial security and long-term success.
