James Lee: From Paper Route to FPA President

James Lee

James Lee is the incoming FPA president and a financial planner with a background in investment research. He has a passion for helping people make good money decisions and has been a member of the Financial Planning Association since 2000.

“Financial planning services are wanted and needed, and I feel that my service to FPA is my way of scaling financial planning to more people throughout society,” he says.

James is of Korean descent, and so he felt a strong connection to the flavors of Korean cooking. To pursue better health, James and his wife adopted a vegan lifestyle.

After college, James worked as an investment research analyst and then decided to become a comprehensive financial planner. With his background in analyzing legislation, James felt a responsibility to advocate for the financial planning profession,  so he joined FPA and eventually became its president.

Through his involvement with FPA, James has been able to help protect financial planners and their clients.
