John Lewis Usry III is the Founder and Principal of 506WEST Wealth Strategies & Insurance Solutions, a boutique wealth advisory firm established in 2024 to deliver bespoke wealth counsel to a select clientele of high-net-worth families, business owners, and elite performers.
John’s professional foundation is distinctly uncommon. Beginning his career as a professional musician in 1989, he developed an acute sense of discipline, timing, and precision under pressure—traits that now define his approach to managing complex financial lives. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University, where he refined the communication and strategic thinking that underpin his advisory philosophy.
Following the birth of his first child, John transitioned into financial services, dedicating more than two decades to the design and execution of advanced employee benefits strategies. Working closely with business owners and executives, he gained an insider’s perspective into the structural challenges, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities that often exist within traditional planning models.
Recognizing the need for a more integrated and elevated approach, John became a fully credentialed Wealth Advisor and founded 506WEST as a modern, boutique alternative to conventional firms. His practice is intentionally selective, serving medical professionals, entertainment industry leaders, professional athletes, and multi-generational families whose financial complexity demands discretion, sophistication, and absolute precision.
At 506WEST, John delivers a private advisory experience defined by customization and continuity. Each engagement is architected to address the full spectrum of wealth: advanced planning, risk mitigation, tax efficiency, and legacy design. His work is not transactional—it is curatorial, aligning capital with purpose across generations.
John is known for his measured counsel, strategic clarity, and unwavering commitment to confidentiality. His clients rely on him not simply as an advisor, but as a long-term steward of their financial legacy..
