About Byron Hancock
Byron Hancock was born in Florida and after graduating from Cornell University settled in New York working in premium off-premises catering. He moved to California in 1987 and wanted to combine top-tier client care with a passion for entrepreneurship using his business acumen. Mainly, he wanted to help people solve problems and pursue their own dreams in a deep and lasting way. Byron saw how both his skills and desires could align with a career in financial services and started foundational training with a life insurance company in 1987.

In 1991, he became a Certified Financial Planner and in 1995 went independent, retaining LPL Financial as his Broker/Dealer and opening an office on Montgomery Street in San Francisco. In 2010, Byron earned the AIF® (Accredited Investment Fiduciary) designation, and in early 2011 he opened his office in the Wine Country.

HANCOCK PARTNERS was formed in 2006. Today, Byron's services include individual wealth management, financial planning, and retirement and employee benefits programs for small businesses.

Utilizing various service models and platforms, along with a virtual team of specialized associates, the dedicated staff at HANCOCK PARTNERS is committed to delivering dynamic, value-focused strategies with client-centered solutions and service for individuals, families and small businesses of all sizes.

Byron holds a Bachelor of Science from the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University and Series 7, 24, 63, and 65 securities registrations held with LPL Financial where he is an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR). He also holds an active California Life & Health insurance license.

Outside of the office, Byron is an active member and Past-President of the Rotary Club of Sonoma Valley where he spearheaded the introduction of Junior Achievement into the local school system, the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, the Financial Planning Association of San Francisco, ProVisors, and previously served six years on the Board of Vintage House.

Byron always longed to move to the wine country, and today lives in Sonoma with his husband, Len, and their two cats hillside overlooking the vineyards. Byron feels grateful to have been given the chance to realize his dreams and would love to help you realize yours.
