San Diego Business Journal (SDBJ) held their first Veteran and Military Entrepreneur Conference and Awards on October 25, 2017.  SDBJ, in partnership with The Rosie Network, launched this conference to celebrate the veterans and military with an entrepreneur spirit, as well as, acknowledge the impact they have on the San Diego community.  Dowling and Yahnke is proud to announce that Mark Wernig was a finalist for these awards.

Mark Wernig is a Portfolio Manager at Dowling & Yahnke.  He joined the Firm in 2015 after serving nearly eleven years in the U.S. Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer, deploying six times and traveling extensively throughout the Middle East and Asia. Currently in the Navy Reserve, Mark is a Lieutenant Commander and serves as the Executive Officer of the Commander, Naval Surface Forces Readiness Headquarters in Coronado, CA.  Mark is also an advocate for the Travis Manion Foundation through his participation on their Regional Advisory Board.

Having started at Dowling & Yahnke as a Portfolio Management Associate, Mark has worked tirelessly to develop extensive knowledge in the key aspects of investment management, financial planning, client servicing, all while continuing his education, his service to his country, and his family, making his inclusion on this list very well deserved.

Disclosures:  SDBJ requested nominations from the community.  It is unknown as to the number of applicants considered for the awards and the percentage of applicants that made the list.  A panel of independent judges reviewed the nominations and selected the winning individuals.  The award should not be viewed as representative of any one client’s experience and should not be taken as an indication of performance by Dowling & Yahnke and any of its clients.  While Dowling & Yahnke did not pay a fee to apply for the award, the firm does purchase goods or services from the publisher of the award (such as subscriptions to the publication, reprints of the ranking, and payment to be included in other San Diego Business Journal-published lists).
