Our Team

John discovered his natural talent for the financial-services industry after he moved to Idaho in 1986. As a policyholder with Northwestern Mutual, he was drawn to the company’s reputation among leaders in the field. He quickly became an accomplished financial representative, reaching top statuses among agents in all stages of his career. His focus on wealth management was born from the desire to help clients problem solve. John’s main goal has always been to make deep connections and lasting relationships.

At Hepworth & Associates, we identify and facilitate a holistic planning process. John helps clients with decision-making to enable them financial success; this can include protection in the form of life insurance, developing personal financial plans, assisting business owners in evaluating employee benefits and succession planning, and estate planning for families. Using a comprehensive approach, John collaborates with clients in tackling their top priorities and gives them the tools to prepare for important life events.

John has served on multiple committees over the years and has taught numerous educational seminars within the company. He is a trusted public speaker for national and regional meetings for Northwestern Mutual and a go-to financial representative when younger agents seek guidance. John has amassed honors over three decades with Northwestern Mutual, but in his words, he “would rather work on problems with clients than collect awards.” Client retention rate is important to John and speaks volumes to his dedication and genuineness.

John is an avid fly-fisherman and enjoys domestic and international fishing trips. He owns a home in eastern Idaho and loves golfing and spending time with his family. John’s motivation to make a positive impact on people’s lives certainly shines through in his work and personal life.
