He began his career on the institutional side of investment management, developing relationships with brokerage firms, turnkey platforms, and institutional consultants, but eventually he was drawn by a desire to work directly with investors on achieving their investment goals, and so began working in the Private Client division providing financial consultation to a number of individuals and families.
Prior to moving to California in 1999, Jonathan began his financial services career 1993 as a Marketing Assistant/Intern with Aegon USA in Chicago while pursuing a Bachelor's degree of Business Administration in Finance from the University of Iowa. His areas of focus included security analysis and portfolio management technology. He completed the Personal Financial Planner Certification at the University of California Los Angeles in 2013. Jonathan has been recognized as a top wealth manager by Five Star Professional Services in San Diego since 2013, as shown in San Diego Magazine, Fortune, and the Wall Street Journal. His length of time winning the award puts him in the top 1% of all advisors in the country who also have received the award.
Jonathan lives in Carlsbad where he enjoys many interests including hiking, biking on his mountain and e-bikes, reading history, and playing board games with his son. Originally from the Midwest, Jonathan has family still there and considers himself a Midwesterner at heart, although he loves the weather in California and says he'll likely never move back.
