Co-Founder

"I believe that it is the mission of our organization to provide financial services to our clients in an environment that places the clients' interest first."

Over the course of his 50+ year career, John served clients in a wide variety of roles, from personal financial advisor to chief executive officer of a billion-dollar financial services company. He and his son, Mark, founded RFG Associates in 1987, establishing the model the company maintains today: listening to clients, developing a customized financial plan based on each client’s needs and goals, and always rising to ethical standards that earn clients’ trust.

John and his wife, Diane, have been married more than 60 years and have three children and six grandchildren. Outside of work, John enjoys travel, golf, tennis, wine collecting, and family time.
