Previously, he served as the vice president of business development at a Seattle-based wealth management firm, where he drove significant increases in the firm's assets under management, revenue and client growth. "Joining the partners at Freestone in helping them to grow the organization is a natural and exciting fit for me. I'm looking forward to working with this talented team to further Freestone's position as one of the premier wealth management firms in the country," O'Neal said. O'Neal also contributes his time and expertise to his community, and serves as a board member and past-president of Seattle's Ballard Foodbank, where he's volunteered for the past decade.
