Who We Are


Ted Fischer CFP®
Co-Founder and Principal
Fischer & Hutchinson Wealth Advisors, LLC
 
Dedicated to the highest standards of integrity and forthrightness, Ted focuses his practice on helping clients prepare for, transition into, and experience retirement with a sense of financial security and control.  Ted is a graduate of the College of Financial Planning and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. He has been a registered investment advisor representative since 2001.  Prior to entering this field, he spent over 30 years as senior corporate executive, general manager, and engineer.  Ted has been a Delaware resident since early childhood.  He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1971, and served for 5 years as a nuclear submarine officer.
 
After working for DuPont for 19 years, he “retired” as the President of DuPont Environmental Remediation Services, Inc.  He went on to become a director for Allied Signal, Inc. and then a Corporate Vice President for its successor company, Honeywell International, Inc.
 
Throughout his career, Ted has been an avid student of investment strategy, economics and financial analysis.  His early "retirement” at age 48 from DuPont stimulated an intense effort to identify a practical approach to investing and managing wealth which could ensure he and his wife would have sufficient resources to live out the balance of their lives with a sense of security, freedom, and the ability to respond to the unexpected.  As a former corporate executive and "practicing baby boomer" Ted provides a unique perspective to others who are planning for the next stages of their lives.
 
Ted and his wife, Pat, have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.  He is an enthusiastic boater, crabber, and fisherman. Ted is an active member of the Rehoboth/Dewey and Lewes Chambers of Commerce, Sussex County Habitat for Humanity, and Naval Academy Alumni Association.
