About Joel Beyer

Joel A. Beyer is a well-known local author, educator and advisor in the areas of Values-Based Financial Planning™ and private wealth management. 

Since 1989, Mr. Beyer has taught thousands of Southern Californians how to make smart choices about their money and how to organize their financial affairs and personal lives so they can pursue a much higher quality of life.  He has personally advised and coached hundreds of affluent families, retirees and business owners including many GE, IBM and Qualcomm employees, local engineering, manufacturing and construction company owners, and the select clients of several prominent Attorneys and CPAs. Mr. Beyer has received numerous service and excellence awards and has been featured in the Ramona Sentinel, NorthCounty Times, Poway News Chieftain and on KSDO AM-600 Radio. 

Joel majored in business at the University of Minnesota-Duluth and has studied extensively to become a certified senior advisor CSA®, and a fee-based financial planner. To keep current with the fast changing financial issues facing his clients, Joel attends numerous annual training conferences and seminars, and invests countless hours every year studying advanced courses in financial planning, tax reduction, investment management, asset protection and estate distribution. He is also advancing his financial planning education at KaplanCollege, a registered CFP® educational institution. Joel is a member in good standing with the Society of Certified Senior Advisors and The Financial Planning Association, and maintains a spotless compliance and disciplinary record with both organizations. 

Joel grew up in a faith-based Minnesota family that emphasized hard work and higher education.  His father James owned and operated two successful businesses after serving in World War II, and his mother Marillyn achieved a Masters degree while working as a full-time nurse and raising the family.  Joel followed his parent’s work ethic, working full-time during the frigid northern Minnesota winters as an overhead line technician while attending college.

After college and business management training, Joel came to Southern California where he began to develop his financial services career—and met the woman who would become his wife.  Joel met Cecelia on a blind date on his 30th birthday in 1990 and they married 6 months later.  Today they live in the semi-rural San Diego community of Ramona, California. 

Church and community service is very important to Joel. He serves as an elder at Calvary Chapel of Ramona and is a member of the church board of directors. His ministry passions include mission projects to foreign countries and the teaching of Biblical financial principals in home study groups. In his leisure time Joel enjoys travel, snow skiing, scuba diving and spending time with his family.
