Hi, I'm John — an independent, trusted personal financial advisor/coach and consultant passionate about making money matters simple, approachable, and even enjoyable. At FlourishingPath Financial Coaching, I help individuals and families find clarity, confidence, and direction on their financial journey.

​

​My background is unique: over 20 years as a business consultant, 12+ years as a U.S. diplomat and international economic development expert, and a financial coach since 2020. As a retired U.S. Foreign Service Officer, I also bring insight into U.S. government retirement benefits.

​

I hold the Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP) designation from the American College of Financial Services, an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh, and a B.S. from Carnegie Mellon University. This blend of real-world experience and advanced education allows me to offer creative, practical solutions tailored to your goals.

​

I'm based in the Cincinnati, Ohio area but work with clients across the U.S., as well as U.S. expats living in other countries.

​

When I'm not coaching or staying current with financial trends, you'll find me playing tennis, traveling, or spending time with my wife and family.
