Tri-Cities, WA
John Stadsvold, CTFA, AEP® brings nearly five decades of experience in financial services, with a career rooted in trust, stewardship, and deep client relationships. From his early days as a trust investment officer in Fargo, ND, to leading trust services across the country, John has dedicated his career to helping individuals and families grow, protect, and purposefully distribute their wealth.
His passion for estate and trust planning is deeply personal. Early in his career, he guided two clients through profoundly different but equally impactful journeys—one overseeing the tax-free disbursement of an estate to three charities, the other structuring a special needs trust to secure the future of an individual with life-changing injuries. These experiences shaped his commitment to thoughtful, intentional wealth management.
Beyond his work, John has served on the boards of numerous business, civic, and performing arts organizations, and has been an active member of investment societies n b and estate planning councils. A lifelong learner, he enjoys reading about WWI and early monastic traditions. When not immersed in history, he and his wife find joy in hiking, gardening, and exploring historic hotels and their storied neighborhoods.
