My Story and Services

Jason joined Morgan Stanley in 2023 and brings more than 23 years of financial services experience to every client he advises. Those clients include successful individuals and their families who hope to send their children to college someday and retire with confidence. “Many of my clients are in a similar life stage as I,” he explains, ”and I understand the issues they face and the solutions that can help them proceed toward their goals with greater clarity and confidence.”

Born and raised in Boise, Jason graduated from Boise State with an MBA and an undergraduate degree in Communications. He began his career as Director of Marketing with the fondly remembered Idaho Stampede of the Continental Basketball Association. Four years later, he had developed sufficient contacts to change careers and join RBC Wealth Management as a Financial Advisor. “I still love basketball,” he smiles, “but I also love knowing that what I do has helped people live as they hope to live and answer questions like ‘Where am I versus where I hope to be someday?’ and “How long will it take me to get there?’”

At Morgan Stanley, Jason looks forward to helping clients take full advantage of the firm’s extensive resources that include sophisticated planning and modeling capabilities. As a Certified Financial Planner, he can provide clients with guidance that goes far beyond their investment portfolio to encompass virtually every aspect of their financial lives.

Outside the office, Jason and his wife Brooke are avid supporters of the Boise YMCA. They love to travel, but they also love returning to Boise and spending time with their two grown children, Bailey and Davis.

Financial Planning at Morgan Stanley

With a holistic approach to financial planning, the Morgan Stanley Wealth Management process begins with your financial objectives and goals. At Morgan Stanley, we evaluate all aspects of your financial situation and craft a strategy which aligns with those goals.

For me, financial planning is a process that goes beyond where clients put their money. Financial planning is an intimate process that involves mutual trust. I strive to understand my clients as people, their goals, and what’s important to them.

3When Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC, its affiliates and Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors and Private Wealth Advisors (collectively, “Morgan Stanley”) provide “investment advice” regarding a retirement or welfare benefit plan account, an individual retirement account or a Coverdell education savings account (“Retirement Account”), Morgan Stanley is a “fiduciary” as those terms are defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and/or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as applicable. When Morgan Stanley provides investment education, takes orders on an unsolicited basis or otherwise does not provide “investment advice”, Morgan Stanley will not be considered a “fiduciary” under ERISA and/or the Code.
