Get to Know John Strohman

What do you enjoy most about your job or business industry?

The most satisfying aspect is seeing the positive impact we can bring to people’s lives. In a prior life, I was a client portfolio manager in the institutional space working with pension funds, endowments and foundations, and consultants. I never met the “end-client” but was dealing with various intermediaries.

In what ways has your chamber membership benefited you and/or your business?

The Exton Chamber is a great way to foster relationships, both on a professional and personal level. All the work we do, whether for individuals or business owners, is based upon trust. Trust must be earned and relationships, created through the Chamber, have been an integral component.

How do you define success?
What business challenges do you face and how do you overcome them?
What makes your business stand out from other businesses offering similar services or products?

We aren’t in the business of selling products but start with the financial big picture and figure out how to improve it. Think of golf. The golf swing comes first. We’ll worry about which clubs to buy later once we know what clubs are missing from our bag.

What advice would you give a young professional starting out in their career?

What use is knowledge or insight if you can’t communicate it? Even if you think you are the smartest person in the room, you aren’t. (That’s true whether young or old.)

What’s something about you that most people may not know (favorite band, favorite food, childhood memory, etc.)?

My wife and I lived in Singapore and Sarah, our daughter, was born there.
