JaMarcus T O'Banner

Growing up on the south side of Chicago, JaMarcus witnessed an immeasurable level of poverty, crime, and violence. With his household serving as his only positive role model, he never had to question what set his home apart from the rest of his community: financial security. This perception fueled JaMarcus to dedicate his life to learning more about the economy and, more specifically, how finances play a role in individuals' happiness and decision making.

His mission is to increase the level of financial literacy within minority communities as well as increasing the percentage of dual-parent households nationwide. Furthering his education, JaMarcus enrolled in a private institution located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. All while playing football, he graduated with two Bachelor of Arts degrees: one in Economics and another in Business Administration.

Following his relentless pursuit to make a difference, JaMarcus began building his practice as a Financial Representative before he'd even started his senior year of college. To this day, he hasn't looked back. His only focus is guiding others towards a better tomorrow. Well, that and his enthusiasm for Chicago sports. Go Bears
