About Our Founder, John Lebeau:

A seasoned, financial industry veteran with a diversified, decades-long background from Wall Street to Palm Beach, John Lebeau began his career in 1981 at E.F. Hutton, investing in the corporate stock of 82 corporations for its employees’ monthly stock investment plans.

A year and a half later, he was sitting on the institutional trading desk of the venerable and iconic, investment research and management firm, Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., now AllianceBernstein, L.P. N.B. (In October 2000, Alliance Capital acquired Sanford C. Bernstein & Co).

26 years later, in 2008, he left the corporate world as a VP/Sales Director in the Wealth Management division of BNY Mellon’s South Florida Region in its West Palm Beach office. N.B. (The Bank of New York Company, Inc., the oldest bank in the nation, founded in 1784 by prominent New York lawyer and eventual President, Alexander Hamilton, merged with Mellon Financial Corporation in July 2007.)

Soon after, he went into private practice as a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), under the firm name John J. Lebeau & Co. This boutique RIA commanded a niche specialty practice in South Florida in Reg. D venture capital consulting.

John semi-retired in 2014, to pursue various business and personal goals, one of which is now sharing his knowledge of finance with his readers, subscribers, customers and clients at EarnLearnSaveInvest.com.

During his career in Palm Beach, John spent fifteen years as the father of opposite sex twins, whom he raised single-handedly from the age of three. He is also a passionate sailor with a Viking-like attachment to a 40-year-old, well-traveled, New England-built sloop, s/v Vent d’Ete.
