Cody Jones

Starting in late 2022, Cody is the newest addition to the ALEC Wealth Management team and will be assisting members as a Financial Advisor. He finds great fulfillment in helping members understand where they are, where they want to be, and how to get there. He believes that education now makes dealing with the unforeseen events of the future far easier to navigate.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in English from Southern New Hampshire University, and a certificate of Spanish from Northern Michigan University, Cody decided to further his education and pursue a career in finance by sitting for the FINRA Series 7 and Series 66 exams and is now registered with LPL Financial to sell securities and provide financial advice.

Cody grew up in the rural Upper Peninsula of Michigan where he enjoyed the pristine beauty of the many lakes and forests. His appreciation for the panoramic vistas of Lake Superior led him on a quest to witness the splendor that the rest of the world had to offer. He has spent time vacationing or living in 14 different countries on 5 different continents, and while traveling uncovered a love of foreign languages that he never would have been exposed to in the U.P.

The majority of his free time is spent reading, watching documentaries or listening to podcasts, but more than consuming new information, he loves to share what he learns with others.
