ivan jones
In 2004, the US Air Force brought Ivan to Vacaville as his wife was stationed at Travis AFB. Prior to her separation from the military in 2007, frequent moves took Ivan and his family from Washington DC, to Hawaii to California where he has worked as a high school teacher and in the private equity and banking industries. Now with Travis Credit Union in the Corporate Finance department, Ivan has had the opportunity to participate in helping to allocate resources from an array of perspectives. In each instance, whether academic or financial, he believes a key to success is to make resources available to individuals intent on developing and expanding them for the betterment of the group – both large and small. Whether it is a high school graduate or an entrepreneur with a business loan, these resolute people are in a better position to help our society because of the resources invested in them by others.
