Jeremy is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^TM with over 20 years of experience. He uses his skills and the experience of managing his client’s portfolios through two bear markets to help them build, manage and protect their wealth for the future.

 

Background & Experience

Jeremy graduated from California State University at Fullerton, where he received his Bachelor's degree in Engineering Geology in 1994.  Upon graduating, Jeremy went to work for a local engineering geology and environmental firm.  Those six years working in the engineering geology field, exploring many different natural phenomena, were an enlightening, fantastic experience for him. 

After a number of years of training and education in the financial field, Jeremy decided it was time for a career change.  In 1999 Jeremy accepted a job with Smith Barney, the predecessor firm to the now Morgan Stanley.  During his time there he experienced and weathered numerous economic and financial environments.  It was during 2009 that Jeremy realized he needed more for his clients and sought to find a firm that could help him and his clients reach their financial goals.  In 2010 Jeremy accepted the position of Senior Vice President - Investments at Wells Fargo Advisors.  Jeremy's experience of witnessing two bear markets, the first commencing in 2000 and lasting through the recession that ended in 2003, and the second commencing with the recession that began in the fall of 2007 and ended in the spring of 2009.  This experience has made him think anew on how he should help clients preserve their assets and strive to achieve their personal and financial goals.  To that end, in 2007, Jeremy earned the accredited certification of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^TM.  Jeremy completed a two-year education and training program, passed a rigorous two-day national examination, and met stringent experience requirements.  This certification holds Jeremy at a higher fiduciary standard, while being bound by a professional code of ethics; he also completes annual continuing education requirements to remain current on planning strategies and financial trends.

Lauren is completing her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and is working on her Masters in Nursing. Madeline is in high school and is a wonderful and caring young lady.
