Meet Jonathan
Jonathan’s background is blend of a liberal arts education and over twenty years of professional experience in investment analysis and management. This blend enables him to bring a high level of technical expertise to planning and investing activities, as well as a focus on the big picture, investing behavior, and open communication.
Jonathan’s experience includes managing assets for two of the country’s largest mutual fund firms, Franklin Templeton Investments and Capital Group Companies, manager of the American Funds. In each of these roles, Jonathan was directly responsible for managing over $1 billion of client assets through a variety of economic and market environments.

Prior to founding DWM, Jonathan served as Financial Advisor and Chief Investment Officer with Genovese Burford & Brothers, a wealth management firm, where he was responsible for leading the firm’s investment process and advising clients.
Outside of work, Jonathan enjoys volunteering in his community, most recently as a board member with the American River Parkway Foundation (ARPF). He enjoys exploring new hikes in the foothills and Tahoe, traveling with his children (it’s true), jogging and cycling on the American River trails, Sac Republic soccer, and teaching teenage children how to drive (false).
