The Tony Navitsky Partner Spotlight: Puzzle Wealth Solutions
The Tony Navitsky Partner Spotlight is a quarterly recognition honoring those who faithfully serve Fellowship Housing mothers and their children. For the second quarter of 2024, we are honoring Puzzle Wealth Solutions.
At Fellowship Housing, we continually seek to honor those who embody a spirit of generosity, consistently serving families in need. For the fourth quarter of 2024, we are proud to highlight Puzzle Wealth Solutions in our Tony Navitsky Partner Spotlight. Alex Klaas, an advisor at Puzzle, shared that advocating for struggling families is a way of life for his family and the entire team at Puzzle.
“After working at a preschool in college, I saw firsthand how difficult life can be for a newly single parent. Raising children is challenging enough even when things go according to plan. This experience was eye-opening for me, revealing the many blessings in my life, especially the support system that surrounds me. My entire family has always been strong advocates for children and families, through our involvement with organizations like the KlaasKids Foundation and our work in local youth groups. Additionally, my brother is an attorney whose practice focuses on families in conflict, and he was recently appointed to the guardian ad litem and child representative list for Cook County. My history with Fellowship Housing goes back more than 10 years, starting with 5K’s at Busse Woods.”
Puzzle Wealth Solutions has long embraced the mission of Fellowship Housing, with a partnership that extends well beyond recent years. The team has collaborated with Fellowship Housing on various events, including the Gala, the Wynstone car shows, participation in 5K’s at Busse Woods, and the annual golf outing at Makray Memorial Golf Club. Most recently, Puzzle Wealth Solutions and their co-hosts Kelleher & Holland selected Fellowship Housing as the charity partner for the Chicago Clubs Invitational taking place on Thursday, February 20th, 2025, at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida.
Alex also shares, “Puzzle Wealth Solutions believes the work Fellowship Housing does directly impacts the most vulnerable members of our community—children. It has been a privilege to witness Fellowship Housing’s dedication to improving the financial literacy of at-risk single moms and laying the groundwork for their children’s success. By empowering the women, Fellowship Housing is making a generational impact on these families. At Puzzle Wealth Solutions, we share this mission and strive to create a lasting impact on the families we serve.”
He adds, "It's our hope to contribute to Fellowship Housing’s future growth, helping it expand over the next 10 years as much as it has in the last decade. As the saying goes, 'The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry,' and the women of Fellowship Housing couldn’t have anticipated the challenges they’ve faced. I’ve found that when life goes ‘off plan,’ having a group like Fellowship Housing—or Puzzle Wealth Solutions—to help get things back on track is invaluable."
