About Joseph A. Campano
My path to becoming the Market Manager for Morgan Stanley in La Jolla may not be typical, but it’s proven to be instrumental in my success. I graduated from West Point in 1983 and spent 10 years as a Military Intelligence Officer in the US Army. I served as a Radar Platoon Leader on the Demilitarized Zone in Korea. And during one of history’s most critical times, I was the Company Commander in Germany of a 200-soldier Signals Intelligence Company and witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall up close and personal.
My career in the Financial Services industry began as a Financial Advisor in 1993 for Merrill Lynch. I spent 16 years there, rising through the ranks as a Resident Manager, Producing Sales Manager, Associate Director, and Complex Director. In 2010, I joined Morgan Stanley. I’m currently the Market Manager in La Jolla, where I oversee 40 Financial Advisors and over $80 million in revenue.*
I am actively involved with Curebound and it's mission to eliminate cancer in our lifetime, and I have participated in the Curebound Cancer Challenge (formerly known as Padres Pedal The Cause) for 10 consecutive years. And I’m very proud to be an active member of the Morgan Stanley Veterans Employee Network Group.
I live in downtown San Diego, and I have two grown sons and 2 very handsome young grandsons. In my spare time, I like to work out, watch the Baltimore Ravens, and I love to travel (Italy and Napa Valley are my favorite destinations).

1When 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.

Morgan Stanley does not provide tax or legal advice. Individuals are encouraged to consult their tax and legal advisors (a) before establishing a Retirement Account, and (b) regarding any potential tax, ERISA and related consequences of any investments or other transactions made with respect to a Retirement Account. Individuals should consult their tax advisor for matters involving taxation and tax planning and their attorney for matters involving trust and estate planning, charitable giving, philanthropic planning and other legal matters.
