JOD Financial is a team of licensed insurance agents that specialize in strategies to maximize your wealth and financial independence.

JOD Financial was established so that we could bring the same great retirement solutions to the general public that our parent company, First Responder Benefits brings to the First Responder (Police, Fire and EMT) community.

The partners and owners of the business are Thomas Brickman and James O'Donnell, Ph.D.  We are both licensed insurance agents.

We are one of a select group of retirement planning agencies that are truly independent. We are privately owned. We only work with strong, financially secure insurance companies that provide reliable products for our clients so that they may rest at night not worrying about their retirement accounts regardless of market turmoil.

Our complete independence means we remain objective and construct financial plans that allow our clients to share in the growth of the market without any risk of loss due to market downturn.  Our company motto is:  In JOD We Trust!

JOD Financial is a subsidiary of First Responder Benefits which is a licensed insurance agency in the State of Ohio.  Ohio License # 1554999
