"Paying taxes on the seeds, not on the harvest."

Who is John?

John specializes in legal tax strategies and advanced insurance concepts. As a licensed financial and insurance agent, he defines himself as a forward-thinking tax strategist — the opposite of a CPA who reviews the past year. His philosophy: pay taxes on the seeds, not the harvest.

His specialties separate him from other financial planners the same way a brain surgeon is distinct from a family doctor — through a higher level of education, focus, and experience.

Certified Financial Planner: Holds a CFP designation ensuring expert knowledge in retirement and financial planning.

Tax Strategy Expert: Years of experience reducing tax liabilities for individuals and businesses alike.

Industry Leader: A proven track record of delivering measurable financial results through innovative, forward-looking strategies.

What John Provides

John provides clients with safety of principal — no risks, guaranteed income for life, and tax-free income for life. He converts IRAs and 401(k)s to tax-free income without out-of-pocket tax costs, when feasible, using strategies with the potential for double-digit yields. He also hosts public workshops and produces multimedia content to help clients educate themselves at every stage.

Author & Contributor

John contributed to "Remarkable Retirement"Conversations with America's Leading Retirement Experts and Financial Advisors (2017). His chapter on tax-free retirement addresses common retirement mistakes: running out of funds, stock market losses, excessive taxation, inflation, and unreimbursed long-term care costs.
