John E. Sestina, CFP® Emeritus
Founder
“When passing the torch of leadership to Stephen Lukan and Tyler Cook in 2016, John stated, “it’s taken me this long to find people I trust to continue the mission of making financial planning a profession, I’m excited for the future.”
- John E. Sestina
John Sestina founded John E. Sestina & Company in 1965. John has been known for advocating for financial planning to be treated as a standalone profession that is focused on comprehensive planning on a fee-only basis since that time.
Though John is no longer involved in the day to day operations of the company, he continues to advocate the fee only financial planning profession. He also takes the time to host weekly installments of the “Managing to Be Wealthy” podcast. You may even occasionally see him in the office still meeting with long-time friends.
