I provide divorce planning, ongoing financial planning, and investment management. While my specialty is women going through divorce or other major life transitions, as a woman in a male-dominated industry, and as a female firm-owner in an even more male-predominant group, I want to make sure everyone who has felt excluded from the table is included and welcomed to grow their wealth and their lives. I primarily work virtually from my home in Annapolis. I have three children who astound me every single day. My fun time is spent with them and with friends, getting curious about the world – cooking, discovering new cities, playing on the water and in the woods, volunteering, seeking out live music, and getting to early morning CrossFit workouts. I founded Clairwell to provide a space for women and those who love them to grow and embrace their wealth and the lives they can build for themselves. Let's simplify wealth management and build something beautiful.

Hi, I'm John! I’m from Severna Park, Maryland, where I grew up surrounded by my family. My childhood taught me the value of family and instilled in me the desire to form meaningful partnerships with my clients. I aspire to be a dependable guide, a trusted thinking partner, or even just a friendly ear whenever a client wants to discuss their financial life. I try to maximize everyday by waking up before the sun rises (to the dismay of my wife, Courtney) and getting in a workout and some reading time before starting my work day. I consider myself to be an avid health enthusiast. I specialize in providing personalized financial advice and education to help clients achieve their life goals by first really getting to know them, prior to digging into the numbers! My mission is to help clients define their "why" and then work with them to align their spending with their values with a tax-conscious, intentional savings and investing plan in order to optimize their money and reduce their financial worry.
