Jon Sanborn is a nationally recognized wealth advisor with a profound appreciation of his Michigan roots. That impressive combination of skills has earned him recognition by Forbes as a 2018 and 2019 Top Next Generation Wealth Advisor,* while also being honored right here in Michigan as a member of Who’s Who of Local Executives and Professionals.

So when you come to Jon for estate planning strategies, retirement planning, wealth transfer planning, or insights for building wealth, he has a keen understanding of you – and a vast knowledge of the financial options available to help address your goals.

Before becoming First Vice President – Investment Officer at Ossewaarde, Anderson, Sanborn & Peterson Wealth Management Group, Jon spent more than 10 years as a successful advisor at Edward Jones – a portion of that time literally spent going door-to-door with retirement planning concepts, leaving him with a boots-on-the-ground understanding of his clients' financial hopes and dreams. And as a graduate of the inaugural class of the Personal Financial Planning Program at Western Michigan University (WMU), acknowledged by the College for Financial Planning, he acquired an expansive knowledge of how to help his clients pursue their financial goals. Those two experiences symbolize the range of his understanding of investment planning.

Jon continues to be involved in the Personal Financial Planning Program at WMU.  While away from work he is a volunteer with the National Ski Patrol, enjoys spending time with his family and watching his daughters play soccer, ride horses, and ski.
