John M. Chambers is the founder of API Asset Preservation Institute, The Asset Preservation Institute, an Education and Consulting Company.

John Chambers embodies the Jeffersonian principle that only an informed people can be a free people - he devotes his life to helping others understand the changing times in which we live so they achieve maximum control over their finances, assets, and their way of life.  Empowering individuals through knowledge that blossoms in ever greater freedom of choice, is his passion. Awakening, inspiring, and motivating individuals to protect and preserve their fortunes and their country, is his mission.
 
John is the President and Founding Board member of the Save America Foundation; a not for profit 501(c)(4) whose purpose is to affirm, restore and adhere to the Constitution of the United States, and he is also Chair for the Save America Foundation’s Economic Committee. He is an author, public speaker and lecturer, talk show host and songwriter.
 
John was very successful in the financial services industry as a leading Financial Advisor from 1996-2008. He made the decision to walk away, after identifying problems he clearly foresaw in the financial services sector and in light of the fact that he took issue with the direction the nation was heading. Inspired to share his special knowledge of over a dozen years, John feels he can be of considerable service to this generation of Americans and has formed The Asset Preservation Institute, an education and consulting organization created to help people take command of their own financial destinies.
 
During his prior career as a Financial Advisor, John established seven independent offices in Florida, Colorado and New Mexico and was a member of the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table, “Top of the Table” and The Premiere Association of Financial Professionals Worldwide. He resigned from the industry in perfect standing from all
governing and regulatory bodies.
 

Interviewed in the Wall Street Journal and featured in numerous publications and television stations in Florida, New York, Colorado and New Mexico, John is also published in Ed Slott’s book - “Parlay Your IRA into a Family Fortune” as a trained expert in IRA
distribution planning.
 
In Washington DC, John attended meetings held by members of Congress on Social Security Reform, Tax Reform and Homeland Security with George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush also in attendance. He was awarded the Businessman of the Year Award for the state of Colorado by the Presidential Business Advisory Council of Washington DC in 2004 & 2005, acknowledging his business leadership, entrepreneurial spirit and contributions made to the growth of local and national economies.
 
Today, John M. Chambers is transforming the way people go about protecting, preserving and growing their wealth, by empowering them through enlightened practical knowledge to steer the course that they choose, for the future.
