John Gifford
Co-Founder & Financial Advisor
John has spent his career blending two things he loves—people and finance. After celebrating 30 years in the financial services industry, the creation of TrueWealth Advisors represents the culmination of a lifelong commitment to helping clients pursue their financial goals with care and clarity.
John believes that when you help people with their finances, you end up learning a lot about what truly matters to them. As he puts it, “My clients are my friends. I know them like I know my own family. I love helping people—it’s what makes me tick, and what will keep me ticking for years to come.”
He is licensed in 12 states and holds designations as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER© (CFP©), a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU), and a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC).
John has called the Upstate of South Carolina home for the past 43 years. He and his wife Christie have four children—John Henry, Emma, OP, and Dexter—and are active members of Upstate Church. His passions revolve around the four F’s: faith, family, finances, and football. He also enjoys music (listening, not playing) and golf (watching, not—well, you know…).
