Jason Hall - Senior Vice President, Wealth Management
(253) 382-5753 | jhall@dadco.com
For Jason, nothing is more important than earning his clients' confidence and becoming their family's lifelong trusted advisor. This is arguably more important than ever before, particularly given all the noise, complexities, and nuances of private wealth management, and the inherent risks affluent families are often exposed to today.
With over 32 years of financial service industry experience, most of which has been spent consulting with families with significant means, Jason has found that clients both expect and deserve to partner with an advisor who has extensive knowledge in all facets of private wealth. This includes both sides of the balance sheet, which Jason affords his clients given his holistic background in comprehensive financial planning, investment management, private banking, risk management, and customized credit.
Jason works with an extended team of professionals within D.A. Davidson who offer expertise in various disciplines to provide his clients innovative strategies and solutions—the result often being simplification of one's complex financial life and peace of mind.
Born and raised in Washington state, Jason is a graduate of Pacific Coast Banking School from the University of Washington Foster School of Business and is a Certified Wealth Strategist® and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional.
Jason and his wife, Lianne, reside in Gig Harbor, Washington, and have two adult children. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling the world, boating in the Puget Sound, and golfing. He also enjoys giving his time and energy to the community.
