Ginnie Benson

During the first 10 years of Pete & Ginnie’s marriage, Ginnie was a stay at home Mom who taught piano lessons for a second income. Once their 3 children were all in school, Ginnie sought out some part time employment. She was called in for a 1-day assignment at BellSouth Mobility and it turned into a 13 year career. Ginnie was promoted several times and advanced to the level of Director of Telesales for Cingular Wireless. During this time, 2 grandsons were born, and Ginnie had a desire to spend time with them as well as with her and Pete’s families in Canada. She made the decision to end her career and has never had a moment’s regret! Ginnie now gets to help out at Beacon Financial Group on an “as needed” basis. She likes to spend her “spare time” helping with grandchildren, and travelling to Canada to spend time with family there.

Daniel, Pete and Ginnie’s son, has worked for Beacon Financial Group for 2 ½ years. Three years ago, Daniel graduated from University with a Business degree. During an internship with Pete & Jon the previous summer, Daniel realized his career search was over and soon moved back to Nashville with his wife Ashley and daughter Kayleigh. Since that time Daniel has learned all aspects of the business and helps with our seminars and meets with both existing and prospective clients. Daniel’s focus on each and every client he comes in contact with has earned him tremendous respect. Daniel and Ashley had a son, Connor, on January 8 of this year and Kayleigh now gets to be the “big sister”. Down the road when Pete & Jon decide to “retire”, they know that Beacon Financial Group will be in good hands.

Jon is also a co-owner and partner in Beacon Financial Group. After spending several years in corporate America with a promising career ahead of him, Jon had a desire to do something that would allow him to have a direct impact on peoples’ lives. The opportunity to join Pete in a new business venture was exactly what Jon was looking for. Jon and Mary Ann have been married for 16 years. During the first 13 years of their marriage, they were childless. Since that time God has richly blessed them with two sons: Nathan, born March of 2006 and Noah, born March of 2008. While the business and two young sons keep Jon and Mary Ann extremely busy, they remain very involved in their local church.
