About Jesse Stockwell

Shortly following my graduation, however, I became a jobless victim of the dot-com crash, which unfortunately reshaped the goals I set for myself. It was tough living on a very small budget, staying with friends, repaying my school loans and even affording a decent meal. However, during this time I really began to see how people from all walks of life had very little knowledge of the very basics in financial education, tax planning, savings, money management and even health insurance. In particular, it became very clear to me that a huge segment of the marketplace was not being offered solutions to their wants, needs and goals. With that in mind, I set out to work with consumers directly who could benefit most from what I had to offer.

It was just a few months before 9/11 back in 2001 where I was forced to set out on my own after the entire industry I was involved fell on some exceedingly difficult times. I recognized then that trying to make a difference helping individual consumers rather than large corporations would be a much more fulfilling career.
