Episode 1 – John Cervantes: Wealth Management, Jiu Jitsu, and Finding the Buy In

In this first episode of Backstories & Buy‑Ins, I sit down with John Cervantes, Partner and Senior Investment Advisor at CrossVault Capital Management. We dive into John’s background, how he built his career in wealth management, and the path that led him to his current role. We also explore his passions outside of finance, including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and CrossFit, and hear the exact moments he made the decision to buy in — both to his career and to the martial art that continues to challenge him on and off the mats.
