              Since 1988 John has supported affluent families with knowledgeable guidance and straight forward strategies.  He recognizes that wealth management can feel daunting even in the calmest market environments, so he strives to lift the burden and free clients to focus on enjoying their busy lives.  From retirement and estate planning services to trust creation and cash flow management, John's goal is to help clients look beyond simple investment management to align every aspect of their wealth.

              Because the financial world is constantly evolving, John believes ongoing education is just as important as decades of industry experience.  He focuses on staying abreast of economic, geopolitical and societal developments that may impact client's financial circumstances.  In addition, he spends significant time every year maintaining Certified Trust and Financial Advisor (CTFA) and Certified Investment Management Consultant (CIMC) designations, which he first earned over a decade ago.

                                        The challenges women breadwinners face embracing their financial clout

                                        Women are contributing more to their families’ incomes than ever before. Yet many remain less engaged than men in decision-making about the money they’ve earned. Why?

                                        We believe financial participation, comprehensive planning and the support of financial professionals can help correct this imbalance. See how in our latest Own your worth report, “Tradition, trust and time: The challenges women breadwinners face embracing their financial clout.”
