About Justin Knapp
As an Edward Jones financial advisor, I\'ve learned the value of investing time in understanding what our clients are working toward before investing their money. By working closely with your CPAs, estate attorneys and other professionals, I have helped hundreds of individuals, families and business owners work toward achieving their long-term financial goals. I invite you to join our family!I came to Edward Jones in 2015, after serving as vice president of the China outbound practice for Ogilvy Public Relations in Beijing, China. I gained valuable experience working with leading companies across Asia Pacific in a financial and corporate communications role, as a consultant on a number of high-profile initial public offerings: mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, as well as in management transition, crisis communications and media training roles.Before joining Ogilvy, I worked in business development and institutional sales roles for Ritchie Capital Management, L.L.C, a multi-strategy hedge fund based in Geneva, IL. In May of 2005, I transferred from the company’s headquarters to Hong Kong, China to help expand the company\'s Asia-focused business.I hold an MBA degree from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, a bachelor of arts degree in business/economics from Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL. As a member of the Wheaton College collegiate football team, I received All-American accolades, was a member of the USA All-Star team in 2002 and in 2018, was inducted into the Wheaton College Athletic Hall of Honor for my accomplishments in football.My family and I live in Grand Rapids, MI.
