Meet The Team

Kelton Burgess is the Founder and President of Cranberry Wealth. As a Licensed Financial Professional and Attorney. Kelton brings a unique combination of financial, legal, and strategic expertise to every client relationship. Kelton entered the financial services industry in 2020 and obtained his Series 65 Investment Adviser license in 2022. He has experience in retirement planning and has earned the Certified Annuity Specialist^® (CAS^®) and Certified Fund Specialist^® (CFS^®) designations through the Institute of Business & Finance.

Each week, Kelton hosts ‘The Cranberry Wealth Retirement Show’ on Pittsburg’s premier KDKA Radio and WJAS-AM 1320. The Cranberry Wealth Retirement show addresses financial planning and legacy planning topics in a practical, down-to-earth, and easy-to-understand way.

Kelton earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Pittsburgh and his law degree from Duquesne University’s Thomas Kline School of Law. After beginning his legal career in San Francisco at one of the largest litigation firms in the world, he shifted his focus to estate planning and founded his own firm in 2012. That experience gave him a deeper understanding of the legal and personal decisions families face as they plan for the future.

Later, while working in the financial services industry, Kelton saw firsthand that many families needed more thoughtful and personalized guidance than the routine ‘Big Box’ cookie-cutter approach often provided.

In 2020, he launched KMB Financial, LLC, which later became Cranberry Wealth, a faith-based, family-oriented financial firm built to help retirees feel more informed, prepared, and confident about retirement.

At Cranberry Wealth, Kelton provides comprehensive, personalized financial guidance that extends beyond investment management. His integrated approach combines investment advice, tax planning, retirement strategies, and legacy planning to help clients build and preserve their wealth. This comprehensive perspective makes Cranberry Wealth a truly holistic financial planning firm dedicated to helping clients achieve their long-term financial goals.

Outside the office, Kelton enjoys spending time with his family and friends, biking, cars, and playing golf.
