From Trails to Treasures: Beacon Wealth Management Brings West Virginia Adventures to Life

Bridgeport, WV – August 18, 2025  –

On Friday, August 15, Beacon Wealth Management threw open the doors of its Bridgeport office and invited clients, friends, and community members to step into something bigger than finance: Wisdom 2 Wealth: West Virginia Adventures.

The experience was led by Senior Wealth Strategist John Halterman, often called the “unofficial King of West Virginia Adventures. True to his reputation, Halterman took guests on a journey through the Mountain State’s hidden gems—unforgettable trails, breathtaking overlooks, and bucket-list spots you just can’t miss. Attendees walked away with more than travel tips; they left with a renewed sense of excitement for living boldly and embracing every stage of life.

“Retirement isn’t just about numbers on a page—it’s about freedom, purpose, and adventure,” said Halterman. “West Virginia is our playground, and events like this remind us that wealth isn’t only measured in dollars, but in the moments and memories we create.”

The afternoon mixed lively conversation, plenty of laughs, local pride, and warm hospitality. Guests discovered new adventures waiting just outside their doors—and a deeper connection to Beacon Wealth Management’s mission: helping families live well, live boldly, and live unscripted.

West Virginia Adventures is part of Beacon Wealth Management’s Wisdom 2 Wealth series—events built to spark fresh ideas, inspire bold living, and bring community together.
