John has worked for a number of firms, most recently Merrill Lynch, where he was the sales manager for the Seattle Complex and in charge of the new advisor training program. These firms all had one thing in common, they were not as client-focused as John felt they should be. Along with two other partners, John decided it was time to start a firm that was going to put his clients first and allow him to work with clients the way he wanted to work with them. So, he started Tallus. John began his career in 1994 and has focused building his experience on risk management strategies which involve a combination of hedging, income generating, fixed income, and option strategies. With a solid background in investments and a place to implement his ideas, John continually strived to add to the quality of his relationships with his clients. Having realized the impact the economy and stock market has had on investors over the last several years, John continually analyzes the current welfare of the markets and where we are as investors. This allows him to make the necessary and well informed decisions for his clients. John grew up in Great Falls, Montana and graduated from Gonzaga University in 1994, becoming registered later that year. John currently holds series 7, 8, 9, and 63 registrations with LPL Financial, 65 registration with Financial Advocates Investment Management, as well as insurance licenses. He lives in Seattle with his wife and son and is an avid tennis competitor.

About Fulcrum Wealth Advisors, LLC

Fulcrum Wealth Advisors, LLC

Fulcrum Wealth Advisors was founded on integrity and trust, in order to meet the needs of sophisticated individuals, families, business owners and organizations who seek more from their financial advisor than what conventional financial services firms offer. We began this business in 2013 as a commitment to protect our clients from unnecessary fees, costs, and conflicts of interest, which are the mainstay of traditional "Big-Box" financial institutions. Fulcrum Wealth Advisors is owned by the partners and has no outside shareholders or corporate parent. Thus, we strive to be free from the conflicts of interest that arise when a traditional firm needs to service the interests of its shareholders ahead of the interests of its clients. Our combined 121+ years of experience within such enterprises compelled us to offer a different kind of experience, one that puts people before profits and planning before product.

As Managing Director of the Tacoma office, I'm responsible for helping successful individuals, families and business owners protect and grow wealth and minimize taxes, and overseeing a team of professionals to support our clients. After over two decades in business that included owning and operating small businesses and high-level roles in sales management and commercial real estate, I became a Financial Planner working with a senior advisor, and I eventually ended up running a solo planning and advisory practice before deciding to join the Arrowroot Family Office of elite advisors.
