John V. Boardman, III, CFP®
Founder/Wealth Advisor
John Boardman was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. As the son of a banker, he took an active interest in the world of finance from an early age. While attending Centre College, John was active in investments while working on an endowment study with the school's Director of Finance. After graduating from Centre College, John worked his way up at a large regional bank to become one of the youngest Vice President's in the bank employing almost 25,000 people. His responsibilities and titles included financial planning Analyst, Investment Coordinator, Business Development Officer to eventually Wealth Management Advisor and Vice President. After working with dozens of families and institutions totaling over $50 million in assets, John realized that he could offer client service far greater than previously, if only he found the right partner to help him deliver this through a local office that was privately owned. In July of 2005, John established Boardman Wealth Planning, Inc., a business designed with the capabilities of a large institution and the services of a local boutique. John and his firm are now able to offer access to exceptional client service as well as a wide array of investment and financial planning guidance.
