Learn About Allyn Hughes
Professional Background
Prior to Mission Wealth, Allyn co-owned an independent financial advisory firm from 2008 to 2023. Allyn started his career as a marketer for different mutual fund firms in the San Francisco Bay Area. As part of his marketing duties, he attended trade shows and professional conferences for independent financial advisors. At these events, he spoke with many of America’s most successful advisors and attended seminars targeted to this group. He learned a lot and decided to take the classes to become a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. He ended up completing all but the last course because he couldn’t figure out how to afford to make the transition from a successful marketer to entry-level financial advisor. After moving to Gig Harbor, Washington, Allyn decided that helping others improve their financial lives was what he really wanted to do, so he completed the CFP® courses again and passed the CFP exam.
Allyn graduated from San Jose State University with his Bachelor of Arts in Advertising and earned his MBA from San Francisco State University.
