Born and raised in the heart of California’s Silicon Valley, Jared Elson’s journey began in one of the world’s most dynamic economic landscapes. As a devoted Sharks and 49ers fan, Jared’s early career in the tech industry coincided with a pivotal era in Silicon Valley's history, offering him a front-row seat to the nuances of wealth creation and, more crucially, the importance of sustaining that wealth.
Witnessing the impact of timely and insightful financial advice, Jared felt compelled to shift his focus from merely earning to making a meaningful difference in people's lives. This passion led him to become a Certified Financial Fiduciary (CFF), a designation that underscores his dedication to acting in his clients' best interests. As the CEO of Authentikos Advisory, Jared now dedicates himself to guiding clients through the often complex and emotional decisions that come with modern retirement planning.
Beyond his role as an advisor, Jared is a sought-after speaker and educator, committed to elevating financial literacy within his community. His approach is both detailed and empathetic, ensuring that his clients are well-prepared for the journey toward retirement.
Jared lives in his hometown of Morgan Hill, California, with his wife Jen and their three beautiful children. His life outside of work is just as vibrant, as he channels his competitive spirit into amateur league hockey and car racing at Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA. Additionally, Jared's intellectual curiosity and sharp mind have earned him a place in Mensa.
