Founder, Adrian N. Jones
Adrian is the Founder and Managing Director of Financial Infusion Group, LLC. After 22 years in the Information Technology field, Adrian realized he would obtain a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment helping others achieve their dreams. With that goal in mind, he used his own personal finances to begin building a company that has served as a stepping-stone to financial empowerment and success for many small businesses and individuals in, and around, his community. And as his clients will attest, he strives to put the personal touch back into finance.
He believes hard-working people, regardless of socioeconomic status, deserve the opportunity to improve their financial status and provide legacies, as he hopes to do for his own family, and especially his son, Bryce.
