Integrity and Communication are the values I cherish the most.
 

Minneapolis native Jon Otterness takes a comprehensive, personal approach to financial advice. He believes “you have to really understand what makes your client tick” to build a strategy that meets all their plans, values, and goals, and he loves the conversations and communication it takes to get there.

His almost two decades of financial planning experience began with Sammons Securities, progressing through Edward D. Jones and Ameriprise Financial before joining Vantage Point. Jon’s well-rounded professional path, together with securities, life, and health insurance licenses, provides a unique and versatile perspective on financial planning and the tools to bring each plan to life.

Growing up, Jon was extremely active in sports and church youth events. As Jon and his wife were raising their two kids in Mayer, Minnesota, he carried these interests into many years helping coach their youth softball, baseball and basketball teams, and has continued to be an active volunteer at their church.

Today, Jon can often be found cheering for his son who plays high school baseball, basketball and football, and the whole family looks forward to his daughter’s college softball games. Jon also likes to exercise (“I love pizza but am working on limiting the carbs”), garden, read, and play board games. He and his son also recently discovered they share an interest in golf, so Jon is rekindling his game while enjoying quality time with his son.
