I am a comprehensive financial advisor focusing on the accumulation, preservation, and distribution of wealth.  I began my training at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania where I graduated in Economics.  I then received my law degree from the West Virginia University School of Law.  Throughout my career, I have worked with many financial services institutions including banks, trust departments, insurance companies, brokerage firms and law firms.

As founder and president of J. Nelson Financial Group, LLC, formerly Global Financial Resources, LLC, I combine my training to provide solutions on a global scale to meet client’s needs.  These solutions range from customizing investment strategies for individual investors to structuring retirement plans for businesses.  While the services provided depend strictly on the needs of the client, I am often able to find better, more efficient ways to achieve a client’s goals by taking a global approach.  Once the client’s goals are established, I use my resources as an independent advisor to help meet those goals.

My law practice is dedicated to estate planning and the efficient transfer of wealth to future generations.  I am a member of the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA), Kentucky Bar Association (KBA), and the American Bar Association (ABA).  In addition, I serve on the ABA’s Section of Real Property, Probate and Trust Law as well as the Planned Giving Council for the Greater Cincinnati chapter of the American Cancer Society.

I am also a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™.  I hold a securities license as well as a license to provide life and health insurance.  I am a registered representative of Coordinated Capital Securities, Inc., who is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

Recent Continuing Education Courses:

  • Ohio Asset Protection and Legacy Trust Institute
  • Taxes Affecting a Decedent’s Estate
  • Estate Planning Conference on Wealth Transfer
  • Long Term Care & Partnership Program
  • Federal Estate & Gift Tax Update
  • Life Insurance Policy Comparison & Underwriting

I am a Financial Advisor focusing on serving clients with Financial Planning and Investment Management strategies. I studied Economics at the University of Kentucky and began my career with PNC Bank and, most recently, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management prior to joining J. Nelson Financial Group, LLC, formerly Global Financial Resources, LLC.

I actively seek to break the mold on traditional financial advising.  I have developed a practice servicing individuals across all socio-economic statuses.  The client's best interest is at the core of all decision making from start to finish. I collaborate with clients to reduce costs associated with Investing and streamline the process to make it easy to understand.

I understand the unique challenges most of us are facing as we move through our lives.  It is important to be able to balance both work and life and know we are being well taken care of on the other side regardless of the situation.  I currently reside in Independence, KY, with my wife, Landis, and our two children, Callie and David.
