About Jesse

Jesse Ruda works with entertainers, athletes, business owners, and families whose financial lives are project-based, cyclical, or otherwise anything but traditional. He builds plans around variable income, transition moments, and long-term wealth building. Before financial services, Jesse spent 15 years in film and television, developing firsthand insight into creative careers and the importance of planning during peak earning years. As a 2004 NCAA National Championship Golf Team member and PGA Tour event competitor, he understands the unique transition challenges of high-performance sports. Today, Jesse combines these experiences to serve clients requiring thoughtful coordination. He helps integrate investments, retirement, tax-aware strategies, risk management, and legacy planning into personalized plans. Jesse began his career at Fidelity Investments as a Workplace Planning Consultant. Outside of work, he enjoys time with his family, golf, barbecuing Wagyu beef from his family's boutique cattle ranch, and volunteering with local charities such as Sleep in Heavenly Peace. A fifth-generation cattle rancher, Jesse values hard work, tradition, stewardship, and community. These principles guide both his life and his work with clients.
