About Lester Inniss
Lester Inniss is a Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®), engineer by training, and former IT consultant who now helps individuals and families across the country make thoughtful long-term financial decisions.
Lester Inniss is a financial advisor at Rethink Wealth based in Houston, Texas. He works with individuals and families throughout the United States to bring clarity and structure to their financial lives. Lester approaches financial advice with a fiduciary mindset—beginning with thoughtful planning and strategy before recommending specific solutions.
Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Lester has lived in New York City, Chicago, and now Houston, experiences that have given him a broad perspective on the many different paths people take in building their lives and their wealth.
Before entering financial services, Lester spent 21 years in IT consulting after earning a Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (BEEE). That background continues to shape his analytical approach to financial planning. Over time, he realized the same problem-solving mindset he used in consulting could help individuals and families make clearer, more confident financial decisions.
Today, Lester approaches financial planning much like an engineer approaches a complex system—bringing structure, consultation, and thoughtful strategy to decisions that shape a family’s future.
Lester holds the Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®) designation and enjoys working with single women, couples planning their future together, and professionals who want to approach financial decisions with clarity and purpose.
He values collaborating with clients’ other trusted advisors—including CPAs and estate planning attorneys—to help ensure strategies are coordinated and aligned.
Lester's Team
Lester also works closely with colleagues at Rethink Wealth, including Melani Faulkner and Tiffini Arrington, bringing additional perspectives and capabilities to the planning process.

Working With Your Other Advisors
Thoughtful financial planning often benefits from the perspective of multiple professionals.

Outside of the Office
Outside of his work with clients, Lester enjoys spending time with his family and staying active on the tennis court. He takes weekly lessons and regularly plays with his wife Tischa, as well as neighbors and family members.
Lester and Tischa have been married for 23 years, and their relationship continues to shape his appreciation for partnership, long-term commitment, and building a life together over time.
Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago and later living in New York City, Chicago, and Houston has given Lester a broad perspective on life and the many paths people take in building their futures.
