Jakob Webel is a Financial Advisor based in Scottsdale, Arizona. His desire for others to flourish is accomplished by providing clients with a genuine life-on-life relationship and financial peace of mind through all stages of life.
His story began in Ashland, Ohio where he spent his childhood close to his parents, two sisters, and extended family. A local church’s youth group, Heartbeat, had a deep impact on his life by providing him with strong friendships among his peers and mentorship by leaders, whose impact led him into youth ministry.
In August of 2016, Jakob left his home in Ohio to pursue a Diploma in Biblical Studies from the Word of Life Bible Institute in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. The Bible Institute provided Jakob with numerous opportunities to reach the next generation with the Gospel at summer camps, youth retreats, missions trips to NYC and the Philippines, and by attending a study trip to Israel guided by his Old Testament Survey professor.
In 2018 Jakob became a youth pastor in Connecticut, and a year later he returned to the Word of Life Bible Institute as a Resident Leader discipling students and serving on the culinary team. In the five years he was affiliated with Word of Life and living in the Adirondacks he was blessed to hike many of the 46 High Peaks, hammock camp, cliff jump, and enjoy the winding mountain roads in his 91’ Miata. During this season of ministry, he completed his B.S in Christian Ministries and Bible Theology through Clarks Summit University.
Jakob’s career in the financial industry began in the summer of 2021 after recognizing his general propensity towards wise financial stewardship, his interest in the field, and the need other’s had for an advisor that would genuinely care for them. While preparing for a career in the financial industry he sought the counsel of successful advisors that would set him on the right path. Following these conversations Jakob accepted a position at a Regional Bank in New York, where he eventually became the Private Client Banker.
“Working with Tony and Emily at GWP over the past year has been a blessing.

I am currently studying for my CFP designation and look forward to getting my CKA in the future.”
