As we proudly mark 25 years of guiding our clients to connect their wealth to a life of meaning and purpose—what we call “Living Fully”—we invite you to hear from Highland’s founder and CEO, John Christianson. His vision, born from a personal realization, shaped the journey that Highland has been on since its inception.
John took a bold step in 1999, creating a wealth management firm that wasn’t just about money, but about helping clients live more fulfilling lives. In John’s words:
“Highland was founded in 1999, born out of a realization that I wanted more for my life. I wanted to flourish in every facet of my life—financially, in my career, with my family, health-wise, in adventure, and in personal goals. I envisioned helping my clients achieve the same by maximizing their return on life and money. Over the past 25 years, our success has been a collective effort. I am incredibly proud of each member of the Highland team, who consistently embrace our mission and work tirelessly to serve our clients. Their dedication to excellence and continuous improvement has been the cornerstone of our growth.”
