As a pilot and a drummer, Jon understands the importance of rhythm and has been helping clients find their financial cadence in life for over two decades. His main responsibility at Echo45 Advisors is to remain an accessible, proactive financial advisor to all the firm’s clients, providing them with the best possible service, guidance and support. As the firm’s owner/founder and Chief Investment Officer, he also is responsible for Echo45’s long-term vision while keeping an eye on daily operations and overseeing investment strategies.
Jon, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®), specializes in personal financial planning, retirement planning and portfolio management, and with a BA in communications from San Diego State University, he enjoys educating clients about all aspects of their finances.
Jon has earned the Certificate in Blockchain and Digital Assets® from the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals and New York Institute of Finance. Increasingly, clients have questions about this emerging asset class, including how cryptocurrencies work. Gaining this certification better prepares Echo45 to educate clients around this exciting, yet rapidly evolving space.
A technology enthusiast and early adopter of new technologies, Jon actively embraces the high-tech world of wealth management, having been in the industry long enough to remember when stock quotes were stated in fractions. He harnesses today's robust FinTech offerings to enhance client experiences in meaningful ways.
Jon is a man of many interests. When he’s not working toward his instrument rating in his Cirrus SR20, he enjoys painting abstracts, baking homemade sourdough, woodworking, and playing tennis and golf when time permits. Jon is a Part 107 licensed drone pilot and recently shot (poorly but had a blast) in his first USPSA Steel Challenge competition. An avid gamer, Jon enjoys playing a variety of games from FPSs like Overwatch and PUBG to Blockchain-based games like Zed Run where he has a growing stable of NFT racehorses. Jon has been the drummer, and sometimes lead vocalist, on six full-length recordings beginning in his college days. Jon experienced Asia with his wife, Monica for the first time on their honeymoon. Together they enjoy travel, from ambitious international trips to quick California weekends snowboarding in Tahoe; wine tasting in Napa; soaking up the sun in San Diego; flying into Pine Mountain Lake Airport (call sign E45), where the firm got its name. They left the downtown city life of San Francisco and moved to Walnut Creek to be closer to Echo45 Headquarters - and have more space for their toddler daughter.
