Josh Sterling, CLU®, CLTC®, CCFS®
CEO
Josh Sterling is the CEO and a Wealth Advisor for Camas. He focuses on helping advisors, affinity partners, and agency partners with their private clients and works directly with financial professionals to provide training and help their businesses grow.
Josh has enjoyed great success as a wealth advisor and uses his hands-on approach to coaching and training to set him apart from traditional managers in the financial services industry.
Coaching is in his blood. After a successful career as a collegiate soccer coach highlighted by an NCAA National Championship in 2002, Josh moved into the world of financial services and quickly developed a name for himself helping clients with estate, tax, financial, and insurance planning.
Just as he passed along his personal secrets and tactics he learned as a player to the players he coached, he now incorporates his strong work ethic and passes along his client strategies to build group affinity partnerships and obtain new private clients for Camas Wealth Advisors and their affinity partners.
Josh works in affluent Sonoma County, California, and knows exactly how to approach high-net-worth individuals.
Josh still lives an athletic lifestyle with his wife and two boys. He and his wife enjoy the endurance sports of cycling and marathons. If he is not watching his boys play soccer, basketball or football, like most avid sports fans, he is watching sports. He continues to spend time helping and volunteering with the local competitive soccer programs.
