John O'Hagan

President

John will insist that he will always be that small town farm kid from Illinois who likes to keep things simple. In his first year out of high school he worked as a pipe fitter at the local Nuclear Power Plant to save for college. After graduating from the University of Illinois and University of Copenhagen, he started in the financial world as an auditor/advisor for Edward D. Jones, a firm known for bringing Wall Street to Main Street. He later worked for A.G. Edwards. By the time he was 30, John was managing over 3000 accounts. He decided to follow his dream of becoming an airline pilot and left the financial world to pursue this goal. In 1992 he was fortunate to have been hired by Continental Express and in 1997 transitioned to Continental, which is now United Airlines.

In 2000, John looked ahead and noticed that his life as an airline pilot had changed. He was worried about the companies’ debt obligation for promised pension payments owed to him at age 60, which was over $1,200,000.  As a new father and a growing family he needed a source of income in addition to his career as a pilot. From 2001 to 2009 John worked as an Investment Advisor for Raymond James. He then transitioned to the Charles Schwab Institutional platform, with KMS Financial Services, Inc. as broker-dealer to create a streamlined, one stop back office access to the pilot retirement plans.

While some pilots enjoy golf or boating, John enjoys the financial world and helping people achieve their individual goals. John is the father of two athletic boys and spends most of his free time attending games and activities with them. He is currently on LTD with United Airlines, but hopes to get back to flying the Boeing 777.

John is licensed as a Series 65 Investment Advisor Rep, Series 7 General Securities Representative and is a Licensed Life, Health and Variable Annuities Insurance Representative.
