Jim Merklinghaus

For over 25 years, I specialized in helping people create income for their retirement and transition their wealth to the next generation. My firm, JBM Financial Services, focuses on two crucial aspects to an individual or institution's financial future: My roots to the Bergen County area run as deep as my financial services background. I have been a resident of Rutherford for over 20 years, living with my wife JoAnn and our two children, Ryan and Cassandra. I have served as Insurance Commissioner for the Borough of Rutherford and have been involved in the local school district, as PTA President and Rutherford Project Graduation Coordinator.
