About the Author

Jason Vanclef was born in Eugene, Oregon, and grew up in Palo Alto, California. He attended Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, earning a B.S. in Biological Chemistry. Over the years, Jason has felt that this degree taught him to think “outside the box” versus traditional degrees in Business or Finance. After 5 years as a Homicide/Narcotic Senior Criminalist with the California Sheriff’s Department, Jason created Vanclef Financial Group, Inc., a Los Angeles based comprehensive financial services practice, offering planning services to a wide range of individuals and small businesses. For over a decade, he has developed extensive experience in asset preservation, retirement and estate planning strategies. Jason has mentored and coached hundreds of financial advisers on his contrarian and somewhat unique viewpoint about the necessary addition of tangible assets to a financial portfolio. To bring his fascinating investment philosophy to a wider audience in 2010, Jason hosted The Wealth Code Radio Show Sunday mornings on KABC 790AM talk radio Los Angeles. Jason has also been featured in June 2012 Forbes Advisor Spotlight, and various TV, Radio, and Print appearances from Time, Fox, CNBC, The Balancing Act, Sirius Satellite Radio and so forth.

Jason is a Series 24 (General Securities Principal), Series 7 (General Securities Representative) and Series 66 (Investment Advisor Representative) licensed financial representative, and also has his California Life Insurance license. Additional certifications include Certified Estate Planner (CEP) and Registered Financial Consultant (RFC) professional designations. Jason and wife Tami have two sons, Grant and Cole, and make their home in the community of San Luis Obispo, California.
