Jason Baker earned an economics degree from Clemson University after becoming fascinated with the stock market. When he was ten years old, his mother bought him a share of Toys R Us stock. He watched the price in the newspaper, deposited his dividends, and marveled at the magic multiplication when it split. At Clemson, he unlocked the mysteries behind the “magic multiplication.” Rather than quench his passion, it stoked it.
He became a financial advisor in 1994 and through his work with both large national and regional broker dealers has gained respect as an astute and forthright advisor. At Cambridge he has found a broker dealer that understands his dedication and commitment to client goals.
Jason holds the following credentials: Series 4 (Registered Options Principal), Series 7 (General Securities), Series 24 (Registered Principal), Series 63 (Blue Sky Laws), Series 65 (Investment Advisory Representative). He is licensed in the North and South Carolina, as well as several other Mid-Atlantic and Southern States.
He focuses on understanding what a client values most. Once established, values generate goals, and the goals drive the plan. His approach, whether dealing with small business owners or several generations in the same family, is holistic and centers on a healthy balance. The client always remains at the center of the system. By keeping the focus on the client, the portfolio serves the client, not the other way around. Since no system remains static, Jason believes an open, transparent relationship with his clients is of the utmost importance.
Away from work, he loves woodworking, kayaking, fishing and making new memories from one-of-a-kind adventures and experiences. Jason and wife, Dawn, live in the Lake Wylie area with their school age daughter, Jordan and dog, Greenspan.
“Sometimes the economy gets in the way of our best laid plans, I want to be the partner my clients turn to when that happens.” — Jason Baker

A new home, taking a dream vacation, paying for your child to attend your alma mater, leaving assets for your children, or simply being prepared for retirement – these are your dreams and, often, your definition of success. As a financial advisor with over 15 years of experience, Matt Kocsis sees it as a privilege to partner with his clients and develop a distinct financial path for the future.
Immersed in a client-centric theology, coupled with proven success outside the financial industry, Matt offers a unique perspective to help his clients. In his mid-30s, a career change enabled him to fulfill his childhood vision of guiding clients as a financial advisor; it has proven to be a winning formula for both Matt and his clientele. He connects with them openly and objectively, looking at their priorities and end-goals to develop a customized strategy. As Matt, who now calls Austin, Texas home, explains, “Taking the big picture into account, I work with my clients to develop a winning strategy that allows them to do what they want to do in life. I want to be the one who develops the game plan that guides my clients to success. Whether it is retirement planning or leaving a legacy for the next generation, we will work together to make it happen.”
The next generation is a continuous focus in Matt’s personal goals, too. Along with his wife Melisa, to whom he has been married to since 1995, much of Matt’s life revolves around his son and daughter as they grow. He plays golf with his son, cheers on his daughter at her sports events, and enjoys traveling the globe with his family. Matt and his family lived 20 years in Charlotte, North Carolina before moving to Austin, but his Michigan roots still run strong as he enjoys watching the Lions and Red Wings.
