Jon’s Story

As the son of a CPA, Jon learned the principles of being financially responsible at a young age.  Fast forward to today where Jon enjoys sharing his knowledge with clients on a daily basis.  Over a 20+ year career, he has continuously worked and trained to gain more expertise and help clients on their path to financial success.

Jon graduated from SUNY Fredonia in 2001 with a bachelor’s degree in Communications.  The early part of Jon’s career was with AXA Advisors (now Equitable Advisors) where he first met Jeff McCabe.  After leaving AXA, Jon went on to work with a large retail bank as a regional financial advisor in the Western New York area with a territory covering 20 branches throughout Erie and Niagara county.  In this role, Jon worked with clients putting together comprehensive financial plans as well as training, mentoring and overseeing fellow bank colleagues.  In 2010, Jon decided it was time to start his own practice.  The goal with opening an independent financial planning practice was to offer clients unencumbered advice without the restraints of “selling” specific products. He ran the practice for 11 years until merging with CenterBridge Planning Group in the first quarter of 2021.
