Michael Randall

I am not your typical financial advisor. You probably won’t find me in a suit; I don’t use many fancy words, and I’m not a slick salesperson. I enjoy surfing, being outdoors, running around the house with my two kids, and I also happen to be a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ with a master’s degree in finance and tax planning. I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to all things money and can nerd out about everything from credit card points to macroeconomics, but I also love grabbing a drink and hearing about what’s happening in your life or chatting about common hobbies—I have a lot of them. Discussing money is very personal, and I want to be the guy you can trust to get an honest answer or perhaps explain the “how-to” without fear of judgment. I don’t believe there’s such a thing as an embarrassing question when it comes to personal finance because, let’s face it, the world of money is complicated, exhausting, and confusing. I take my fiduciary duty very seriously and believe that transparency is key. If you can commit to honesty, trust, and patience, I can help you navigate a path toward freedom and success, however you define them. Services I Provide: • Financial Planning • Investment Management • Tax Planning Specialties: • Growing families • California residents • Employees in tech • Physicians • Employees in energy/oil & gas • Socially Responsible Investing (Broad ESG)

Hello! I'm Shannon, a bilingual (Eng/Spn) Advice-Only CFP® practitioner. I'm here to help you create a clear path towards your life goals and a sense of financial freedom through values-aligned financial planning. I have worked with clients across a variety of career fields, from tech and solopreneurs to educational institutions, such as the UC system and public employees working for federal, state and local governments.

I specialize in working with first generation wealth builders, like myself, who want to change their financial family trees, as well as those who want to go above and beyond reaching financial freedom for themselves to invest responsibly, support their communities in creative and meaningful ways, and to help close the wealth gap. I'm here to help you know, feel and do better with your money, and to help you make your money work harder for you in support of your goals, the life you want for yourself, and the impact you want to have on the world around you. Examples of who I work well with: - First Generation Wealth Builders - Progressive, impact-oriented professionals, consumers and investors - Individuals, couples, LGBTQIA and non-traditional households - Working professionals & business owners - Tech employees & employer equity recipients - Charitably inclined folks - FIRE aspirers - Spanish speakers & First-Generation Americans I work with clients in San Diego, as well as nationwide via virtual meetings.

About Danny G. Michael, CFP®, RLP®, MSBA Retirement requires making decisions that will impact my clients for the rest of their lives. So the first thing I do is help them define for themselves what a fulfilling, deeply satisfying retirement looks like. Once they have complete clarity on what they want, I put my advanced degrees in finance and tax-planning to work getting that for them. It’s also important that my clients know I have no hidden agendas. As a Certified Financial Planner™ and Registered Life Planner®, I provide completely transparent retirement planning and my team acts 100% in their best interests. We make no commissions off the financial products clients invest in and we charge no hidden fees. For 20 years, I’ve led clients through the maze that is retirement planning and I love knowing that they’re fully enjoying this phase of their lives and not worrying whether or not their financial resources can support their most fulfilling retirement. There’s nothing worse than realizing after you retire that your planning was incomplete. Let’s work together so that you can enjoy the comfortable, confident retirement you’ve earned.

Helping you organize and simplify your finances, build steady income, and retire with clarity and confidence. Over the last decade, I’ve worked at different wealth management firms, gaining valuable experience alongside some incredibly smart, kind people. My biggest takeaway? There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to personal finances. Customized financial planning works. And that’s what makes this work so rewarding. That’s why I created JRO Wealth Management. I built this firm for people who want to cut through the jargon and complexity and get real guidance from someone in their corner. Someone who understands how all the pieces of your financial life fit together — retirement income, taxes, investments, healthcare, legacy — and helps you make decisions across the board that actually work for you. My job isn’t to sell products or try to time the market. It’s to help you weigh the tradeoffs, see the bigger picture, and make smart, informed decisions with someone you trust by your side.

Money is not complicated - our relationship with money is. As an industry, financial services has traditionally put the spotlight on money, failing to center the human in the story. Money is a human construct - it is an extension, a reflection, and a record of us and how we live. Money is important, but not as important as you. As a financial planner, my role is to support, guide, inform, and empower my clients to integrate money and finance into their lives in a way that is deeply personal and affirming. If you want to connect to money and finance in a new and positive way, we should talk! My journey in finance began in 1992, and since then I have worked with thousands of professionals and clients in the industry. Working with companies large and small and people from all walks of life, I have amassed deep expertise and empathy available to anyone who wants to create better outcomes and a healthier relationship with money. Family, curiosity, and trust are my highest values. There is nothing I love more than hiking the Northern California mountains with my husband Martin and son Sebastian or laughing wildly with my sisters and mom over something silly. I am a proud graduate of Mount Holyoke College, receiving a Bachelors of Arts in International Relations. I have held the Certified Financial Planner designation since 2003 and in 2018 I received a Juris Doctor from St. Francis School of Law.
