About Us

Our Mission

At Tier 1 Capital, LLC, our mission is to help you achieve financial freedom, stability, opportunity, and, ultimately, financial peace of mind. We do this with a four-step process designed to help you identify where you are currently surrendering control of your money unknowingly and unnecessarily; reduce your risk and maximize your return without sacrificing your current lifestyle; and use the tax code to prevent your money from being taxed more than once.

Anthony P. John, CLU®, ChFC®

For over 40 years Tony has provided services that enable his clients to secure their financial future. Beginning his career in Insurance and Financial Services in 1977, he developed an expertise in privatized banking about 20 years later. Meeting and studying with Nelson Nash, the founding father of Infinite Banking, gave Tony a better way to help his clients. 

Tony helps individuals meet their personal needs, the financial needs of their families, and the financial management needs of their businesses. Handling business insurance, estate planning, and business continuity planning, he understands that the longevity of wealth depends on more than putting money away in family savings or retirement accounts.

An approved instructor for Continuing Education Credits for CPAs, Tony helps maintain the integrity of the industry by aiding other CPAs with new techniques to help their clients. Involved in the community, he dedicates his time as a member of many organizations like the Estate Planning Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania. His community involvement also includes being active on the Hospice Community Care board. 

When he isn’t giving back to his clients and the community, Tony can be found cross-country skiing, fly fishing, or enjoying an evening at home in Bear Creek Village with his wife, Renie.
