John Johnson

I've spent 35 years in this business, and what still gets me up in the morning is the privilege of helping people navigate some of the most important decisions they'll ever make. After more than three decades, many of my clients have become like extended family. I know their stories, their children's names, their concerns about the future. That continuity means everything to me.

My path into financial services started at Eastern Washington University, where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Marketing Management. But I never stopped learning. In 2015, I completed my Master's Degree in Biblical Studies and Business Management because I wanted to deepen both my faith and my ability to serve clients well. That combination has shaped how I approach this work. It's not just about products or strategies. It's about people and stewardship.

I specialize in life insurance, annuities, trusts and wills, Medicare, and overall estate planning. These aren't abstract concepts to me. They represent security for families, legacies being protected, and futures being built with intention. What brings me the greatest joy is sitting across the table from someone and hearing their story. Every client has a unique journey, and addressing their financial needs in a way that honors that journey is what this work is all about.

Outside the office, I'm a history buff, with a particular passion for American history. There's something about understanding where we've been that helps me appreciate where we're going. 

I grew up right here in Spokane, and I've never had the urge to leave. This place has given me everything. My wife Joan and I have been married for over 54 years, and we've raised four children who've blessed us with five grandchildren. After my relationship with the Lord, my family comes first. Watching them build their own lives and make their mark on the world fills me with pride.

I also love riding my Harley when the weather cooperates. Over the years, I've stayed active in our community through various roles, including serving as former board chairman of a local credit union, former president of the Spokane Association of Health Underwriters, chairman of St. Luke's annual charity golf tournament, and board member of a local conservative political non-profit. I'm also deeply involved in church activities through Real Life Otis Church and We Believe We Vote Ministries.

Service has always mattered to me, whether that's in my professional life or in the community. After 35 years, I'm grateful to still love what I do and the people I get to do it for.
