He has served as a trusted Advisor across generations of families, helping them navigate their sophisticated financial scenarios through focused investment management, trust and estate planning, gift and philanthropy issues, and tax-aware strategies.

John and his team offer clients a comprehensive, family-office-style experience. His strong background in structured financial products, alternative investments and investment strategies provides deep insight into how the many elements of a client's financial scenario relate.

He also sits on the Wealth Partners' Advisory Council, working directly with the senior leadership of J.P. Morgan Wealth Management.

John joined J.P. Morgan in 2016 after spending seven years at Deutsche Bank serving global wealth management clients. Earlier in his career, he spent a decade at KBC Financial Products—a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Belgian global financial services firm KBC Bank, N.V.— where he focused on structuring and selling credit and equity derivatives, long-only fund management strategies and alternative investments.

A graduate of Yale University, John earned a B.A. in American Studies and is an alumnus of the Delbarton School in New Jersey. He holds the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst®(CAIA®) designation.
