Who We Are
Steve DarkFounding Partner, One Wealth Partners Financial Group
For over 30 years, Steve Dark has challenged the status quo of financial professionals—by asking the questions that matter, not just the ones that are convenient. What began as a vision in Santa Monica has grown into a thriving Group with dual hubs in Santa Monica and Dallas, guided by a belief that true wealth is built through clarity, purpose, and enduring relationships.
Steve’s reputation—recognized by Forbes and earned through continuous Million Dollar Round Table and Top of the Table* distinctions—rests not on flashy transactions, but on thoughtful dialogue. He helps executives, business owners, and athletes prioritize what truly matters, crafting strategies that evolve as life unfolds.
Graduating from Arizona State University in 1996, Steve dove into finance with focus, rapidly rising through national ranks. Yet, his true measure isn’t professional accolades—it’s the trust forged over decades, one conversation, and one partnership at a time.
Steve is securities licensed in CA and TX.

Jacob MorningstarChief Financial Officer & Investment Advisor
Jacob Morningstar approaches finance with a belief that good decisions come from clarity, discipline, and the courage to question assumptions. What started as an analyst’s curiosity has grown into a career spanning the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and France—managing £185M (US$240M) and guiding clients through the realities behind the numbers, not the noise around them.
Being a market analyst at heart, Jacob’s strength comes from translating complexity into direction. With experience on equity and multi-asset desks, and years spent developing research, portfolio construction, and risk frameworks, he brings a mindset that blends engineering precision with market intuition. His philosophy is simple: understand the data deeply, communicate it plainly, and make decisions that hold up across cycles.
Jacob holds a Master’s in Financial Analytics, a Bachelor of Commerce in Business Technology Management from the John Molson School of Business, and a Bachelor in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Montreal. He also holds the Series 65 investment advisory license.
Yet, like Steve, he measures his work not by credentials but by trust—earned conversation by conversation, household by household. His focus at One Wealth Partners Financial Group is to align the firm’s strategy with its purpose and ensure that every decision, financial or otherwise, stands on solid ground.
In his words, his mandate is straightforward:
“Build with integrity, think long-term, and leave any community you take part in stronger than you found it.”
