David Hogans

David brings a uniquely diverse background to his role as a Financial Advisor at Wealth Enhancement Group, blending the analytical mindset of an engineer with the strategic, advocate driven approach of a trial attorney. He views wealth management as a holistic process—one that requires clear analysis, coordinated planning, and a deep commitment to helping clients preserve and grow their financial future.

David’s professional path spans multiple disciplines, each shaping his comprehensive approach to client service. After graduating Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from McDaniel College, he earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Virginia Tech and later his Juris Doctorate from the University of Dayton. His legal career includes experience as both a public defender—where he won more than 20 jury trials—and as the owner of his own patent law firm.

Beyond the legal field, David has executive experience as CEO of a holding company with nine divisions and 80 employees, as well as seven years running his own investment and financial planning firm. This combination of business leadership and advisory experience allows him to understand the challenges faced by entrepreneurs, executives, and high net worth families.

Licensed to practice law in Virginia, New Mexico, and before the Federal Patent Bar, David is known for his ability to translate complex legal and financial concepts into clear, actionable guidance. A lifelong student of the markets, he brings genuine curiosity and rigor to every client relationship.

David lives in Albuquerque with his wife and their two children. Outside the office, he enjoys spending time on the golf course and continually working on his swing.
