BiographyBiography

From retirement planning and Medicare enrollment to athlete and entertainment wealth management, John brings enthusiasm for the practice of wealth building paired with precision and presence to each interaction. His work with collegiate and professional athletes focuses on translating short-term opportunity into long-term stability, helping clients understand how to turn performance into legacy. His approach is about guidance that lasts. He wants clients to know that once they start working with him, they’ll never be left without support.

John’s path began early through mentorship. As a child, he asked industry leader Jeff FeinendegenThe People Building the Future of Wealth to take him under his wing — a bold request that shaped his career. What started as a mentorship evolved into a career grounded in strategy, precision, and relationship-focused priority. Now, as part of the growing NIL and athlete advisory initiatives within 15 Wealth, John works alongside his brother Patrick to create structures that protect young talent while preparing them for the realities of financial independence. Today, John channels that same mentorship forward: guiding clients, collaborating with athlete peers, and helping younger advisors find their footing in finance.

John’s perspective is holistic. He sees finance as part of a larger story — one that connects family, purpose, and legacy. His philosophy is that wealth should serve life, not the other way around — a principle that resonates across generations of families and professionals alike. Whether helping retirees well position their income or young athletes face tangible money goals, he approaches each relationship as a partnership for life.

Outside of work, John finds balance through family, faith, and connection. He volunteers weekly at his parish’s food pantry and bed ministry, enjoys time with his brother Patrick and their friends, and rarely misses a Chicago Bears game. He’s known for his sense of humor, his curiosity, and his ability to make any conversation feel meaningful. Whether he’s reading, lifting weights, or catching up with friends over coffee, he approaches life with the same mix of curiosity, optimism, and consistency that defines his work.
