Juan Munoz CFP®, AIF®, CRC®, AAMS®

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Chihuahua, Mexico, my family never placed much emphasis on financial matters. Although we were not facing financial hardship, it was evident that my parents weren’t prioritizing savings for the future as diligently as they could have. Growing up, I observed numerous individuals grappling with the challenges of saving, much like my own parents. This realization sparked a desire within me to contribute to people’s journey towards a more secure and prosperous financial future.

My pursuit of a degree in international marketing led me to the heart of Texas, where I unexpectedly discovered my true calling within the personal financial planning program at Texas Tech University. In this program, I learned how to harness my passion for helping others and translate it into providing valuable education, counseling, and tailored financial guidance that can truly transform someone’s financial well-being.

Since 2008, I’ve been deeply engaged in the financial services industry, crafting personalized financial plans for families and developing retirement benefit strategies for corporations in the thriving Houston region.

Beyond my professional life, I find immense joy in watching films, immersing myself in enlightening podcasts, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Whenever the opportunity arises, I relish moments spent at the beach, savoring the serenity it offers.
