Timothy Molnar

Every member of Tim’s family in Bergen County, NJ, played an instrument. Growing up in a musical family, Tim was introduced to the piano at age 7, performing at various concerts throughout his childhood and young adult life. Graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in piano performance from the Wheaton College Conservatory of Music, and attaining a Master’s degree in conducting from the University of Southern California, Tim defined his career path several years after his adventures in music performance by joining a New York Stock Exchange firm. There, he utilized his analytical and social skills developing a long-term clientele over the ensuing 36 years. Today he is a founding/managing partner of a 26 member investment and financial planning firm – DJM Financial.

With music in his DNA, Tim is an avid pianist, having a particular knack for improvising. He continues to serve, as he has for many years, on the Board of Directors of the Pacific Symphony in Orange County, California. He also is the founder and emcee of a concert venue, the Emerging Artist Series, in Newport Beach, California, now in its eighth year, which features the most talented young musical artists in the area, several of whom have gone on to professional careers in music.

In addition to his music ventures, Tim enjoys the southern California coastline – kayaking, hiking the lowland hills and surrounding mountain ranges, and continually working on finding the fairway off the tee.
