John graduated from Texas A&M University with a BBA in Accounting in 1973 and went on to join the staff of the Texas A&M Development Foundation as a CPA. It was during this time that he began to realize he could help people understand and navigate the often-confusing journey of their personal finances. This would lead him to becoming a Financial Representative and ultimately working with hundreds of Texas A&M University and staff as well as other clients in investment planning over a span of more than 35 years.

John enjoys spending time with his wife of over 50 years, their 2 children, and 6 grandkids. His hobbies include spending time outdoors and woodworking.
