Treasurer

JT Knight

JT is the founder of Winston Paul Capital Management, a Personal Wealth and Business Equity Advisory firm that works with Business Owners, individuals, couples, and families.

His whole approach centers on truly listening to people, understanding what matters most to them, and helping them build a future that reflects their values — not just their portfolio balance.

He believes in the power of faith, in the strength of community, and in leaving things better than you found them. At home, he'll tell you his greatest joy comes from his family. He's especially delighted by his two grandsons who call him "J-Pop.". JT remains curious and active, follows Formula 1 racing, still coaches little league baseball, and hits the slopes when time permits. He's grateful for the chance to contribute as a board member here.
