John found a natural fit working with young medical residents who were studying at the University of Tennessee. He was struck by the specific issues faced by young doctors. Having spent almost half their lives in training by the time they left residency, they felt anxious to start their financial lives on a strong footing, but many were hampered with significant debt accumulated over the years. “The residents I worked with needed help,” John remembers. “They were at a point of great change in their lives; starting both families and careers. I worked with them to establish good financial habits early.” John coached his young clients to articulate their goals, and then helped them work towards those goals using a disciplined approach.

Today, those early clients are seasoned physicians and practice owners; and John is proud to count them both as clients and friends. John has witnessed their families grow, children head to college, and experienced other life changes – and challenges - with them. Over the course of over two decades, he has also cultivated a unique understanding of the specific needs of healthcare professionals. John’s practice exclusively focuses on working with physicians and their families. All of his clients come to him by referral from other satisfied clients.

Except for a four-year stint in Tupelo, Mississippi, John has spent his professional life working in Memphis; he knows the area well and speaks of it fondly. Originally from Illinois, john now lives in East Memphis. His time away from the office is spent with his wife, Hermenia, and their five children.
