John's journey into the financial industry began at a young age, when he found himself fascinated with saving money and learning how to accumulate more in the “rainy day” fund his dad urged him to build. Coincidentally, at age 10, he opened his very own savings account at a bank. It wasn't until college however, while attending finance and economic classes at Cal-State University, Long Beach that he learned of the vast number of financial vehicles available to individuals and businesses alike - other than just that basic savings account he learned about from his dad. During a on-campus Career Fair, he was approached and ultimately recruited by Prudential Financial where he became licensed with Pruco-Securities - and so began his financial consulting career in 1996. During his career he has earned his professional designation of Registered Financial Consultant, RFC, from the International Association of Registered Consultants, IARFC. In 2006, wanting to offer options outside of the captive product line options available to him, he left Prudential and ventured out to become an Independent Financial Services Broker and founded Belmont Benefits. Over the past, nearly 3 decades, John has continued expanding his knowledge in the financial services arena. Whether it was tax courses taken at Jackson-Hewitt, or the 1000's of hours of Continuing Education, research, case design, annual client reviews, John has built a strong pedigree in the world of financial consulting. He truly feels, in the world of finances, be it insurances, retirement planning, debt management, tax minimization strategies or budgeting, everything is connected and it's important to talk about it. John's approach is simple: Connect. Evaluate. Execute.
