More About John
John's interest in finances and investing was sparked by his mother, who worked as an office manager for an investment firm. After graduating from Texas A&M University, he entered the financial services industry, initially selling products before seeking independence to provide more comprehensive financial planning.
In 2006, John acquired and rebranded a Mineral Wells, Texas-based investment practice to Corner Post Financial Planning. Over the years, the firm has evolved to focus on a planning-first approach, building financial plans that support clients' wealth and life-building journeys.
Serving Clients Across Texas
Corner Post Financial Planning serves clients across Texas, particularly those in energy, utilities, construction, and defense contracting. The firm also caters to households where women are the financial leaders, providing tailored guidance and support.
The Corner Post Story
The firm's name is inspired by an oak tree that has served as a corner post for over 100 years on John's family homestead. This symbol reflects the importance of financial plans and goals as the foundation for any investment strategy.
Outside the Office
When not working, John enjoys spending time outdoors, driving his Bronco, and listening to music by the fire pit. As an empty nester, he and his wife, Melanie, are enjoying their new chapter, with their grandson being a joyful addition to their lives.
