David Johnson is a financial advisor and co-founder of Soundview Wealth Management, where he helps clients make thoughtful financial decisions and stay focused on what matters over time.
He works with clients to filter out the constant noise around markets and money, keeping attention on what they’re trying to achieve rather than reacting to every headline. Known for being a clear and direct communicator, David explains complex financial situations in a way that is practical, understandable, and grounded in real-world decisions.
David began his career in banking and corporate finance, including roles as a fixed income trader at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and with Toyota Financial Services. He has spent more than a decade as a financial advisor, building long-term relationships and guiding clients across market cycles and life transitions.
He graduated from Gonzaga University with a degree in business and an MBA.
David believes sound financial advice should be thoughtful, respectful, and clearly understood by the people receiving it. He co-founded Soundview to build a firm with the flexibility, tools, and team needed to continue growing in an increasingly complex environment.
Outside of work, David teaches a middle school finance class and coaches CYO sports. He and his wife, Stephanie, live in Kenmore with their daughters, Caroline and Eleanor, and their dog, Ethal.
