WHY WE AIM HIGH
Our beautiful family, that is it. We love to spend time together, eat good food, go to the beach and parks, and stay active. Our weekends are filled up with kids’ activities, sports, family, and fun.
These two cuties are Camila and Cash. We also have a mini-dachshund named Harvey. We love to travel domestically and internationally. Disneyland, Maui, and Cabo are our favorites at the moment. Edita and I love a good happy hour and spending quality time with friends and family. Our goal is to continue saving for our financial future and build a legacy for our family.

We’re the Miles-Mattingly family — Emlen and Maricela, proud parents of four amazing kids: Jada, Mia, Emlen II, and Ecella. Family is the center of everything we do. Whether we’re on the sidelines of a baseball or soccer game, hosting Sunday dinners, or planning our next adventure, we believe in creating memories, not just managing schedules.
Maricela brings heart and organization to our household, keeping life running smoothly with equal parts grace and grit. Our kids keep us grounded, inspired, and always laughing — each with their own passions and personalities.
When we’re not working or cheering from the bleachers, you’ll find us together on the golf course, exploring new places, or just enjoying a slow evening at home. For us, wealth isn’t just about finances — it’s about having the freedom to be present for the moments that matter most.
