E. Vaughn Landes
President, Chief Investment Officer
As President & Chief Investment Officer, I work with high net worth individuals, corporations, and executives. I help my clients understand their current financial situation and define their future goals.
I have 25 years of experience with investment portfolio management and retirement plan advisory. I began my career as a financial planner with Univest, advancing to the position of Portfolio Manager and eventually Vice President/Supervisor of Funds Management. After 9 years at Univest, I established the firm Indian Valley Capital Management as a Principal. In January 2000, IVCM was acquired by FirstService Bank. After 13 years of bank ownership, I, along with my partners, established the independent advisory firm IVC Wealth Advisors, LLC and serve as its President/Chief Investment Officer and Managing Partner.
I earned a B.S. Degree from Elizabethtown College in Business Administration. I hold various FINRA and Insurance licenses. I am actively involved in numerous community and church activities and enjoy spending time with my four children.

As an independent financial advisor, I work with individuals, families and business owners to help them understand the importance of developing a strategic, long-term plan that helps them achieve their goals and objectives. I take the mystery out of complex issues so that my clients fully understand all of their options.
I help my clients understand their current financial situation and define their future goals. Whether it is insurance planning, wealth accumulation and preservation, a secure retirement or leaving a legacy, every person, family and situation is unique and requires customized and highly personalized solutions.
I bring 15 years of financial and business experience to my clients. I hold the Accredited Investment Fiduciary designation and conform to the highest ethical and professional standards.

David Gotwals
Vice President
Staying present can be difficult when you're worried about the future. As Vice President and head of investment research at IVC Wealth Advisors, building client confidence is my top priority. With over 15 years of experience as a financial advisor, I focus on providing my clients with customized financial and retirement plans to strengthen their financial future.
I started my career servicing life and variable annuity clients at Prudential Financial then moved to Colorado to work at Charles Schwab. After returning to Pennsylvania, I landed at National Penn where I developed my focus on selling and servicing group benefits, including group retirement plans. After 11 years at National Penn, my partners and I decided we could more fully meet the needs of our clients by starting our own independent firm.

Outside of the office, I am involved in my local church and serve on the board of the BuxMont Fellowship of Christian Athletes. I love spending time with my wife and baby girl. In my free time, I also enjoy motorsports, hunting, shooting and soccer.
