Letter From the Founder
Barry Jackson, Retired
I am extremely grateful for the privilege of serving clients since 1988. It doesn’t seem possible that much time has passed, but the opportunity to retire became a reality in 2022. I often wondered how my clients would be cared for when I wasn’t around to serve them. Thankfully, I have complete peace of mind knowing that my son-in-law, Jon Evans along with Nathan Janzen are the ones continuing. I am completely confident that both Jon and Nathan will always do what they believe is best for each person as they provide helpful guidance in all financial decisions.
After beginning my financial services career in 1988, myself and my wife Giselle were the founding partners of Networth Services Inc. in 1992. We were also co-owners when Networth Financial Corp. was established as a Mutual Fund Dealership in 1994. The industry has experienced constant change, but I always endeavored to provide clients with perspective and peace of mind. I had a strong commitment to do my best to help people make wise financial decisions for now and for their future.
Our daughter Shana married Jon Evans who graduated from Trinity University with a BBA and joined the Networth Team in 2006. Jon has been instrumental in growing the business along with Shana, and in 2014 they joined as co-owners too. Subsequently, Nathan Janzen, BBA, added his years of financial expertise and then he and his wife Chelsea took on ownership to allow myself and Giselle to enjoy our retirement.
Giselle and I have lived in Abbotsford since 1988. Shana and Jon have 3 children and their other daughter Keri lives with her husband Matt and 3 kids close by in Hope, BC. Camping and enjoying the great outdoors have been and continue to be shared family experiences. I continue to enjoy curling and look forward to experiencing more travel as opportunities arise. Family and church involvement are priorities taking precedence over even golfing, which is generally self-evident!
