John is passionate about helping individuals and families build clarity and confidence around retirement. He focuses on practical, long-term strategies that simplify complex financial decisions and believes financial guidance should align not only with numbers, but also with the values and goals that shape a family’s life.
Before joining Cornerstone, John attended the University of Notre Dame, where he majored in history, and from there began his career as a high school teacher. That experience strengthened his ability to communicate clearly, explain complex concepts, and guide others with patience and understanding. He values his family life in Tennessee and regularly attends Mass with his wife, McKenna, and their son, Tommy.
While staying grounded in the principles he lives by, John brings together his experience in education, banking, insurance, and independent advising to help individuals and families approach retirement with clarity, structure, and confidence in their next steps.
