“Success is not measured by what you accumulate, but by the impact you have on the people you serve.”

John Maness serves as a Wealth Advisor with Astra Wealth Management, where he is passionate about building lifelong relationships and helping clients navigate financial decisions with confidence and clarity. He believes every financial journey is unique and enjoys working closely with individuals and families to develop personalized strategies aligned with their goals, values, and long-term vision.

Before entering wealth management, John built a strong analytical foundation through his work in data analytics, developing a passion for solving complex problems and creating customized solutions. Today, he brings that same detail-oriented approach to helping clients make informed financial decisions and stay focused on what matters most.

John joined the United States Marine Corps in 2016 and continues to serve as a Non-Commissioned Officer with his unit in Waco, Texas. His military experience has shaped his leadership style and reinforced the importance of discipline, adaptability, and remaining steady under pressure—qualities he brings to clients as they navigate changing markets and important life transitions.

Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife, Cristina, and their children. An avid golfer, he is also active within the Romanian Orthodox community in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and remains connected to the values that shaped him through the United Methodist Church where he was raised.
