Joe Rayburn
CFP®, Advisor

In an odd twist of fate, Joe works in the same building where his mom, an attorney, worked years ago. But that’s where the similarity ends, since Joe is the only non-lawyer in a family of litigators. Finances weren’t often discussed around the family dinner table; instead, the conversation veered more toward sports. In fact, Joe flexed his athletic skills as goalkeeper on the Pacific Lutheran College soccer fields, earning academic and athletic accolades that led to a brief stint as a soccer pro.
The seeds of Joe’s financial career were sown in his soccer career. In the world of pro sports, he saw too many young players with multi-million-dollar contracts mismanage their money and recognized a need to help others create solid financial plans. It led him to become a trusted source of financial and investment knowledge for clients as they plan today and prepare for tomorrow.
Joe earned his bachelor’s in finance while at PLU, and he has also earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) designation.
Something you may not know about Joe: He’s a great cook, especially on his Traeger grill. He’s also a huge fan of local chefs Gregory Gourdet and Joshua McFadden, owners of several well-known establishments in the Portland area.
