ROBERT DODARO
Founder
Meet Robert: Your Retirement Sherpa and Community Advocate
Hey there, I’m Robert—the proud founder of our financial journey here at Prism Wealth. As a devoted Christian, husband to Leslie, and a father of three amazing children—Daphne, Robbie, and the newest addition, Sophia—I believe in the power of family, faith, and financial wisdom.
My mission? Guiding individuals towards a retirement plan that’s both reassuring and empowering. I’ve seen too many folks miss out on enjoying their golden years due to undue worry. Retirement should be about living life to the fullest, and that’s the perspective I bring to the table.
Leslie and I embarked on our shared adventure in 2014, and our family calendar stays action-packed with church, school, sports, and volunteering. Amid the hustle and bustle, we make sure to carve out time for small family getaways—moments that truly enrich our bond.
My journey as an independent financial advisor is backed by the Series 65 securities exam, life and health insurance licenses, and a genuine commitment to making a difference. Beyond the numbers, I’m also a proud Treasurer for the United Way of Wayne and Holmes Counties. Giving back is woven into our DNA, from supporting local events at the Wooster Chamber of Commerce to championing charitable causes through 5ks and golf tournaments.
Our accomplishments owe much to our vibrant community, and our success story is incomplete without the support we receive. As we continue on this financial expedition, I want everyone to know that we’re here to serve you—just as you’ve supported us.
So, let’s journey towards your retirement dreams together, with faith, family, and financial security lighting our path.

Doug Myers
Paraplanner
Meet Doug Myers:
Hailing from Wayne County and a proud graduate of Wooster High School, I took my first steps in higher education at the University of Akron. My journey took a turn towards service as I joined the United States Marine Corps, where as an Aviation Ordnance Specialist, I served honorably through two combat tours. Upon my return to Ohio, I contributed to the Petroleum Services Industry before enlisting as a Psychological Warfare Specialist in the United States Army Reserves in 2015, a year that also blessed me with the birth of my son, Colton.
My career took a leap into the financial sector in 2017 as a Licensed Mortgage Banker at Quicken Loans, earning a reputation as a leading name in mortgage banking. At Freedom Mortgage, I spearheaded our branch’s growth from 5 to 40 employees, cementing my status as a top banker in Ohio and Michigan. In 2022, I embraced a new challenge at JP Morgan Chase, acquiring licenses in Series 6, Series 63, SIE, and Ohio Life and Health.
Now at Prism Wealth Management, I leverage my deep passion for helping people and my acumen for finance to craft bespoke wealth management strategies, ensuring our clients’ financial goals are met with the same dedication and excellence that has defined my career.
