Our Team

“I think many things in life happen because of fate. I did not choose my career path, it chose me.”

Jon’s first job was running his family’s bike shop for over 15 years. The business eventually went into manufacturing, but Jon knew that wasn’t the right path for him. He had a strong interest in finance, and after meeting his now-wife’s father, a financial advisor, he fell in love with the career. 

Jon studied at Edison State Community College, and mentored at his father-in-law’s successful financial services firm for seven years. He admired how his father-in-law approached finance through an educational and collaborative lens. 2023 marks Jon’s 28th year in financial services, and even after all this time, he’s never been bored. The dynamic nature of finance plus the unique challenges his clients present keeps him energized and motivated.

Though every day is unique, most days for him involve meeting with his clients, who appreciate his ability to explain complex financial situations in an easy-to-understand way. When he’s not serving his clients, he can be found in a webinar or conference with various investment firms, or deep in his research about finances, learning new techniques, solutions, and ways to reduce taxes.

Jon’s happiest when he’s spending time with his wife of 27 years, Ami, and his two sons: Will, 24, and Heath, 21. They love spending their time traveling, engaging in shooting sports, fishing, and riding ATV’s on their family farm. Jon believes the secret to eternal youth lies in riding dirt bikes and ATVs with his sons, and is proud to say he has the longest wheelie record in his family.

“Time is our most precious resource. Makes sense to think about how we are spending it.”

Zach’s commitment to helping people build resilience and thrive financially comes from seeing families needlessly suffer due to poor financial decisions. He believes that through establishing healthy habits and committing to a long-term plan, anyone can achieve Financial Independence (FI). With FI, people have more freedom to live, play, and work in ways that bring joy while providing peace of mind knowing their family is protected should something happen to them.

With every interaction, Zach aims to bring his clients one step closer to Financial Independence. This includes in-person meetings, phone calls, and lots of behind the scenes casework. His diligence and patience helps him discover how his clients’ spending, saving, and investing is affecting their long-term plan, so that he can deliver the tools and information clients need without any excess clutter.

Zach earned his Bachelor of Science and Business through Wright State University, and is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. As a CFP®, Zach has gone through extensive training and experience, and is committed to the CFP Board’s ethical standards.

When he’s not in the office, you can find Zach playing sports, traveling, or enjoying the outdoors with his wife Lindsay and his three children Bennett, Grady, and Maeva. Zach is incredibly competitive and enjoys taking on friends and family in almost any sport. He also loves reading and exploring the world of personal finance, business, and investing.
