John has been in the life insurance industry for 12 years. Before finding the industry, John spent his days bringing carts in at Costco from the parking lot. He simply got tired of minimum wage and knew he was worth more. John’s accolades include: always being a top 5 producer, F&G Power Producer, and traveling the world every year for free from carrier trips! He is dubbed the “insurance man” among all of his clients and is a master of referral sales because of it. John has always averaged over $300,000 of net income working 15/20 hours a week before stepping into his new role here at Advantage One Brokers. He is passionate about helping families change their financial future through his career. John is happily married with 4 beautiful children and resides in Folsom, CA.

Dr. Edward Burns, after an honorable career as a Marine, found another home in entrepreneurship. Combating struggles associated with serving two tours in Iraq and homelessness after military retirement, Dr. Edward Burns started his own cleaning service company with only $34.41 to his name. His work ethic and perseverance led him to success. As a result, this business scaled enough to be sold to a private equity firm, thereby, making him the first multi-millionaire in his family.

Dr. Burns integrated immediately into the Advantage One Brokers family and leverages his over two decades of experience at training high performers. His positivity radiates in every interaction and we are proud that he chose to call our organization home. He exemplifies dedication through his personalized training and is a great value-added to Advantage One Brokers. We are happy to have him on the team and look forward to the great things he will accomplish.
