Jeremiah Ramirez has worked in the financial services industry for almost 12 years. He earned his securities registrations—Series 6, 65 and 7—at the age of 21 and held those licenses for three years before moving over to the insurance side of the industry. Today he is a business owner and independent advisor licensed in insurance in multiple states, including Texas, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Oklahoma, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maine.

Jeremiah founded The Marathon Group in order to serve others during an extremely stressful time in America. “I started The Marathon Group in May of 2020. It began as a way to empower the masses in a nation which, at the time, was crippled by layoffs, sickness and fear. Our firm seeks to provide people with financial literacy, showing them how to take control of their financial futures,” he says. “My mission is simple: It’s to serve.”

Jeremiah’s favorite part of his career is the “aha” moment, the minute when a client realizes there is hope and real support to help them actualize their financial goals. The team of advisors at the Marathon Group has a shared objective laid out by Jeremiah from the beginning: “We are personal wealth advisors that assist in financial plan creation and implementation no matter what the present economic environment. We remain focused on the constant positive progression of our clients. We simply speak on our ‘client first’ mentality and the capability of our firm to create a personalized approach designed to meet individualized financial goals.”

In addition to helping families, military families, retirees and business owners, Jeremiah also inspires his team to reach even more people through their own personal development. “As a business leader, I seek to provide our firm’s advisors with the opportunity to create self-driven careers, training how them to be truly impactful in each individual client’s life. This positivity then multiplies and spreads out exponentially to everyone surrounding them.”

Known as Rico Ramirez to his friends, Jeremiah’s background is Puerto Rican. He grew up in multiple cities, but he calls Houston home. He attended the University of Houston where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering with a minor in chemistry, as well as a Bachelor of Science in biology.

Jeremiah and his wonderful wife are raising two children in Patterson, California, located southwest of Modesto. Jeremiah says, “I am married to my better 75%. She is the best thing to ever happen to me, as she helps to balance and strengthen me in areas of lack or weakness.” In his free time, Jeremiah enjoys spending time with his family, reading, exercising and meditation.
