“When my husband first started working with John nearly 15 years ago, we were focused on building generational wealth. He was analytical by nature, and not someone who trusted lightly—especially when it came to our finances. The two of them would talk at length, often debating numbers, projections, and strategies. It was through those many conversations that a real trust was built.
“Eventually, my husband saw the results of the policies and plans John helped him put into place, and he became confident that John understood what we were trying to build, not just financially, but for our family's future.
“Eight years ago, my husband passed away unexpectedly. I’ll never forget what he told me many times over the years: if something ever happened to him, John was one of the first three people I should call. That, to me, was all the proof I needed of how deeply he trusted John.
“And when that moment came, John didn’t hesitate. He showed up—not just professionally, but personally. He became a steady presence in my life, helping me navigate financial decisions I wasn’t prepared to handle alone. He walked with me, step by step, never pushing, always explaining things in a way I could understand. He didn’t talk over me. He took the time to truly know me and my family.
“What’s surprised me most is just how much John genuinely cares. He makes what could be a confusing, overwhelming process feel manageable and clear. And even all these years later, he continues to stay involved, bring new ideas to the table, and most importantly—check in to see how we’re doing.
“He could have easily passed me off to someone else after my husband died. But he didn’t. He’s made a consistent effort to keep me informed, make sure our plans are still working, and keep that sense of stability going for my family.
“I’ve referred both friends and family to John because I trust him completely. He has been more than just an advisor—he’s been a friend. And I’m deeply grateful for the role he continues to play in my life.”
