John Navin is not your typical financial advisor. Sure, he’s spent over 30 years guiding clients toward financial success, and his expertise has earned him recognition on Chicago Magazine’s Top Wealth Managers list twice—but what really sets him apart is his zest for life and his belief that wealth is about so much more than money. John blends deep expertise with a personal passion for helping clients connect their money to their biggest goals.
John’s approach is as dynamic as his lifestyle. When John isn’t helping clients connect their finances to their goals, you’ll likely find him living out his own. An Ironman competitor and avid cyclist (he owns four bikes and is always looking for the next trail to conquer), John loves anything that gets his heart racing—whether that’s hitting the open road in a fast car, hunting pheasant, or casting for walleye on an annual fishing trip to Canada.
Travel is another passion. For John, it doesn’t matter if it’s a weekend trip to Columbia, TN, or a cross-country adventure—exploring new places is a must. Back home in Nashville, he’s happiest gathering with family and friends over a good meal, sharing stories, and making memories.
John’s love for adventure and community carries over into his work as a financial advisor. He’s dedicated to helping people dream big, overcome challenges, and live the life they’ve always imagined. It’s a role he fell into by accident but quickly fell in love with, thanks to the people he’s met along the way. For John, it’s all about finding balance—between work, play, and the goals that truly matter.
Whether he’s shooting clays at the Nashville Gun Club, planning his next road trip, or guiding a client through a financial milestone, John approaches life with passion, purpose, and a belief that everyone deserves to live fully and is committed to helping others achieve their own version of a full, meaningful life.
