The Forbes ranking, developed in partnership with SHOOK Research, is known for its rigorous selection process. It emphasizes both quantitative excellence and the qualitative impact advisors have on their clients’ lives. Out of nearly 49,000 nominations nationwide, only a small percentage of advisors are selected after extensive telephone and in-person interviews, evaluation of compliance records, and thorough reviews of business practices and service models.

They are the engine behind everything we do.” He also extended sincere appreciation to the team at Ramsey Solutions, noting, “Our missions align so closely—helping everyday families experience freedom, clarity, and peace with their finances. It’s an honor to serve alongside such a values-driven organization.”
John-Mark also acknowledges the foundational support of his wife, Megan, who he calls “the cornerstone of our family.” Her encouragement and faith give him the strength to lead both at home and in the office. “Megan’s unwavering support and belief in me allows me to be the husband, father, and leader I’m called to be. I simply couldn’t do this without her.”
This recognition from Forbes is not just a professional milestone—it’s a reflection of a life and career built on purpose, service, and a desire to make a difference. John-Mark’s story is a reminder that great financial advice isn’t just about smart investing—it’s about building relationships, empowering families, and walking with clients through every stage of life.
