Meet the Founders

Before talking about roles or experience, it helps to say this.

Longevity Wealth Strategies was built for people who want fewer urgent decisions and more durable ones. For people who value calm thinking over constant reaction. For those who understand that a longer life demands better structure, not more noise.

The work here starts with a simple belief. When the structure is right, clarity follows. And when clarity is present, people make better decisions and live with more confidence.

Mark and Khy Sweeney bring different strengths to that belief, but the same mindset. One focused on how systems are built and decisions are guided. The other focused on how systems are carried out, supported, and sustained over time.

Together, they approach financial planning the same way strong teams and strong communities are built. Start with fundamentals. Build deliberately. Learn together. And create something that holds when life changes.

What follows is not a résumé.
It is a window into how this work is done and what it feels like to be guided through it.

Longevity Wealth Strategies is a boutique wealth management firm serving clients nationwide, with deep roots in Vienna, Fairfax County, and the greater DC Metro area.

The work itself is centered on coordination, clarity, and long term decision support rather than product driven advice.

Most people don’t struggle because they lack effort or intelligence.

They struggle because life gets busy, decisions stack up, and no one has built a system that actually supports them over time.

That understanding comes from living inside environments where preparation matters. High level athletics. Leadership roles. Teaching and coaching. In each setting, the pattern is the same. Performance does not come from intensity alone. It comes from structure. From fundamentals. From knowing what to do next when pressure shows up.

Competing as a Division 1 athlete makes that lesson unavoidable. You learn quickly that talent is not enough. Systems matter. Consistency matters. The small details done well, day after day, are what hold up when things get hard.

Those same principles carried into executive leadership, coaching, and teaching. Different settings. Same truth. People perform best when expectations are clear, communication is steady, and the structure around them reduces friction instead of creating it.

That belief shapes how Longevity Wealth Strategies operates day to day. The focus is not on adding complexity. It is on creating calm. Clear next steps. Thoughtful follow through. An experience that feels steady even when life is not.

Community involvement reflects the same mindset. Youth sports. Local organizations. Being present matters. Systems do not strengthen themselves. People do.

At Longevity Wealth Strategies, the role is to ensure the client experience matches the philosophy. Organized. Reliable. Human. When the structure works quietly in the background, clients are free to focus on living instead of managing details.

That is when planning starts to feel supportive rather than overwhelming.

If we were sitting across from each other, this probably wouldn’t start with returns or accounts.

It usually starts with a pause.

The kind that shows up when someone realizes they have done the right things and still feels unsure how it all holds together from here. Life gets longer. Decisions carry more weight. Simple questions stop having simple answers.

That realization came early through family experience. Watching good intentions collide with health changes, career shifts, and long timelines makes one thing clear. The issue is rarely effort or intelligence. It is structure. Or the lack of it.

Work in environments built on complex systems reinforced the same lesson. When systems are designed well, complexity becomes manageable. When they are not, stress shows up everywhere. Financial lives work the same way. Structure creates clarity. Clarity allows the path forward to appear.

That is why planning here starts with fundamentals. A strong foundation first. Then layers built intentionally over time. When the structure is right, decisions feel lighter. When it is not, every choice carries unnecessary pressure.

This work is not built for hyper reactive performance chasing. It does not reward urgency for its own sake. It is designed for people who value calm thinking, coordination, and decisions that hold up over time.

Sports made that real long before finance ever did. Playing and coaching showed how people actually learn and improve. Show me. Teach me. Let me try. Let me get better. And let me help the people around me do the same. Teams grow stronger and more resilient when learning is shared and progress is built together.

That way of thinking extends beyond the field. Youth sports. Local business organizations. Community involvement. Strong systems do not happen in isolation. They are built when people show up, support one another, and stay engaged.

At Longevity Wealth Strategies, this perspective defines the work. Planning moves at a calm pace. It is not reactive. It does not chase headlines. It focuses on building a system that can support real life over a long time.

This is usually the point where people stop trying to get everything right and start building something that actually holds.

This work does not happen in isolation. Clients are supported by a coordinated concierge model that quietly manages the moving parts behind the scenes. Taxes, estate planning, risk, benefits, and implementation are handled through a trusted network so decisions feel organized rather than overwhelming.

At some point, most people stop looking for more information and start looking for a better way to think.

That moment does not require urgency.
It requires clarity.

When the conversation feels right, the next step becomes obvious.
