About Our Guest: 

Gibson Capital’s story began with Bob Gibson, a visionary financial planner whose career spanned over 40 years. Bob traveled the country, partnering with the best money managers to help protect clients from major market downturns, including the 1987 crash, the tech bubble of 2000, the Great Recession of 2008, and the COVID crash of 2020. His investment mantra was simple but profound: “Defense is more important than offense.”

Bob’s dedication laid the foundation for Gibson Capital’s philosophy of capital preservation, thoughtful growth, and client-first service. After Bob’s passing in November 2021, Steve took the helm, rebranding the firm while honoring its founding values. Today, Gibson Capital continues to thrive, blending time-tested strategies with modern innovation.
