Endeavor, an independent, SEC-registered wealth management firm, has named Ben Fedorko Partner and Director of Wealth & Estate Strategy. Fedorko is a board-certified estate planning and probate attorney who has led trust practices at both a global institution and a growing regional bank. He brings extensive experience in complex trust and estate planning to Endeavor and its clients, working alongside Endeavor’s investment, tax, and family office teams.

“The families we serve have increasingly complex wealth that spans across multiple generations. They expect top-tier advisory expertise from our team,” said Colter Lewis, Founder and CEO of Endeavor. “We are thrilled to reunite with Ben. With our shared heritage, it feels like we’re getting the band back together. The difference is that we are delivering sophisticated, institutional-caliber expertise in areas like investments, trust, estate and wealth planning, but with the more personal relationship experience of an independent boutique.”

Fedorko joins Endeavor from Texas Regional Bank, where he served as President of the Trust and Wealth Management Division and grew assets under management by more than 300% during his tenure. He previously served as Senior Vice President and Senior Fiduciary Officer of The Northern Trust Company in Houston, leading the firm’s trust practices across the Houston and Austin markets. Fedorko began his career as a trusts and estates attorney at Bracewell LLP and Gray, Reed & McGraw LLP. He is Board Certified in Estate Planning and Probate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and earned his J.D. summa cum laude from South Texas College of Law. He holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Texas A&M University’s Mays Business School.

“In my experience, the best planning happens when someone understands the whole family, not just the documents,” said Fedorko. “I’m excited to join the Endeavor team and work alongside partners whose investment, business advisory, and family office expertise address the full picture of our clients’ needs. Together, we will deepen and evolve these relationships for generations to come.”

Endeavor also announced that Freddy Garza has taken on the role of Chief Operating Officer. In this role, Garza will continue to serve key client relationships while leading operational efficiency to fuel Endeavor’s continued growth.
