John M Baggett

Growing up on Bainbridge Island, I've always been in love with the Pacific Northwest. I attended Willamette University in Salem, Oregon and obtained a BA in European intellectual theory, and an MBA in corporate finance.

As a lifelong learner, I started my career working for a private aviation company called Evergreen Aviation in McMinnville, OR. Although I loved the opportunities and challenges of the corporate environment, I ultimately discovered that I wanted to pursue a career that would allow me to combine my love of education, finance and being able to help those I care about most.

After working for JPMorgan Chase in Portland, OR, I returned to Bainbridge Island to partner with my mother, Christy Givans, at Edward Jones. This has allowed us to better serve our clients and community through a multi-generational perspective. Professionally, I work with a broad range of clients but specialize with those in transition due to death or divorce, young professionals, non-profits, and multi-generational wealth planning. Christy and I also partner with our incredible team of administrators, Luann and Karla, who continue to go above and beyond to provide the highest level of service to all of our clients.

Personally, I enjoy spending time outside of the office to take advantage of the beautiful weather we have in the Pacific Northwest (whenever that may be), From taking walks in one of the many parks we have on Bainbridge to playing softball both in an adult league in Portland as well as a tournament team that allows me to travel all over the country. When the weather isn't conducive to outside activities, I play in a dodgeball league in Seattle. I also enjoy trying new restaurants and foods, spending time with friends, going to the movies and traveling to new places around the world.
