Background
John is a true Austinite. A third generation south Austin native. He has seen a sleepy college town, that occasionally acted as the legislative center of Texas, evolve into the tech giant and traffic jam that it is today. He proudly continued the family tradition of attending The University of Texas where he earned a degree in Economics with a business foundation certificate from the Red McCombs School of Business in 2012.
John started his professional career at Austin Wealth Management directly out of school where he first became licensed and began his “on the job” education as a support advisor. Eager to jump start his career in financial planning, he pursued an intensive two year training program in Houston with UBS Financial Services. He learned and practiced a variety of investment philosophies, planning concepts, tax minimization strategies and small business strategies. During this time he obtained the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and AWMA® designations to further his understanding of complex financial planning strategies. Now back home in Austin, we couldn’t be more excited to have him back on our team.
John has a true passion for living life to its absolute fullest. In his free time you will find John hiking the Greenbelt, paddle boarding Lady Bird Lake, playing 9 holes at Butler Pitch & Putt or listening to live music with friends. He absolutely loves people and cares for his neighbors like they are his own family.
