About John

As Co-Founder, John’s passion is driven by a deeply-rooted desire to help others. While pursuing his education at the University of Central Florida, he decided exactly how he was going to align his passion with his profession. Immersing himself in the world of financial planning, John has spent nearly two decades motivating others toward their vision for financial success. Graduating with honors, John earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Business with a focus in Finance and later achieved the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation. He also holds insurance and real estate licenses. His desire for continual growth and development eventually led to a specific emphasis in helping clients integrate Medicare and Social Security planning decisions into their financial life goals. In addition to his work with clients, John is the host of The Above Board Podcast, a top 2% podcast globally. Through the show, he shares conversations and insights centered on financial stewardship, personal growth, and living with intention. His message extends beyond numbers and portfolios, encouraging listeners to build not just wealth, but a meaningful and purpose driven life. A family man at his core, outside of the office John loves spending his time with his wife, Jaclyn, and their children, Ella and Hudson. Much of his free time is spent on the ball field, where he enjoys coaching his children’s baseball and softball teams. As a lifelong fan of the Atlanta Braves, that shared passion for baseball has become a meaningful thread woven into family memories and the lifelong lessons the game continues to teach about teamwork, patience, and discipline.
