Our Story



A family business.
A personal purpose.







John and Dean founded Longhouse in 2018 with a shared concern: investing can feel intimidating, especially when you are the first in your family to work with a financial adviser.




They wanted to create a firm where people could ask questions, understand their choices, and have someone to turn to after the account was opened. That purpose continues to shape how Longhouse works with clients.




John brings an engineering background and a disciplined approach to investment research. Dean brings experience in client guidance, business ownership, and community leadership. Together, they connect the work of managing a portfolio with the person and family it serves.

John Ferraro

Co-founder & Chief Investment Officer




John leads Longhouse's investment research, portfolio construction, and ongoing investment oversight.




Before co-founding the firm, he spent more than 35 years at Hughes Aircraft and Raytheon, ultimately serving as a Senior Principal Scientist Engineer. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from California State University, Long Beach.




His work in testing, reliability, and complex systems informs the way he evaluates investments: examine the evidence, consider the risks, and keep the long-term objective in view.

People Over Profit



What that means
when you work with us.






We listen before we recommend.

Your goals, income needs, family responsibilities, and comfort with risk guide the conversation. We take time to understand what you want your money to do.







We explain the details.

You should understand the approach, the fees, and the risks before deciding. We welcome questions and explain unfamiliar terms in plain language.







We stay involved.

Opening an account is the beginning of the relationship. We manage the investments and remain available as your plans and circumstances change.


















Our Roots



Connected to family.
Involved in community.

Longhouse's Native ownership is part of its story. So are the relationships built through education, community involvement, and working with families over time.




We serve clients from a range of backgrounds. Each relationship begins with the same respect for the person's experience, priorities, and questions.
