“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” - Henry Ford

Today he leverages his three plus decades of experiences and successes, that make him uniquely qualified, to help you plan for and secure your financial future.

Anchored by the core tenant that people should have the financial peace of mind to sleep well at night, John and Apex best serve
clients that:

• Have reached a point in their financial life where they need to get organized, get more clarity of their financial future, and get better prepared to achieve their financial goals.
• Have grown their assets to a point that they may need to develop or update an estate plan to ensure the efficient transfer of their assets to their beneficiaries.
• Are business owners that have a need to create or update their business succession plans.
• Have an interest in creating a charitable plan to support the charities and causes that align with their values and visions.

Many of John’s and Apex’s best client relationships have been related to:

• More established and mature business owners that are thinking of creating a retirement plan that includes the sale of their businesses.
• Senior citizens that are charitably inclined and are required to take required minimum distributions, that they do not need, from their retirement accounts.
• Friends and family members and their referrals of others they care for.
