John Tierney

I fell in love with investing and finance in high school, starting by managing my own portfolio before branching out to help my father. From there, I knew this was the path I wanted to follow. I founded Tierney Wealth because I wanted to offer a client-focused solution, one that is holistic and addresses the full financial picture for families and institutions alike.

I specialize in working with unions, endowments, and high-net-worth families. What drives me most is crafting estate wealth transfer strategies that support families in preserving and transferring assets across generations. I genuinely love overseeing family estates and find the work deeply rewarding.

My investment philosophy is straightforward: wealth management should be inclusive and holistic across a family's full financial picture, not just one investment account, but a plan that works together.

It is very hard to find a wealth management company that truly cares about you and is also young enough to be there for the next generation. We pride ourselves on working not just with the current patriarch and matriarch but also supporting planning across multiple generations of a family.

I earned my B.A. in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Before that, I attended Wilbraham and Monson Academy, where I studied finance and business and was awarded the Evelyn Barber Prize for Finance and Entrepreneurship.

Outside of work, my wife Bronwyn and I enjoy skiing and snowboarding together. We have a dog named Luna and love traveling to Stowe, Vermont for the restaurants, mountain views, and swimming in the summer. I grew up in Westfield, Massachusetts and am now a full-time Connecticut resident. We also give back to causes close to our hearts: Line Brother's Keeper, which supports electrical linemen injured on the job; BHMA, helping people with special needs participate in music and arts; IBEW charity golf tournaments; local churches; and the UMass Amherst lacrosse program.
