Jackson joined Northwest Trustee & Management Services as our Oregon Market Leader and Senior Trust Officer. This new role capitalizes on Jackson’s two decades of experience in the fields of estate planning and fiduciary administration. Jackson is an attorney who began his legal career in commercial litigation. He then moved into estate planning and administration after handling a probate litigation case in which he successfully recovered stolen assets for a beneficiary in need. As a partner at Portland law firm, Tonkon Torp, Jackson led the firm’s Wealth Planning practice group. He moved into fiduciary administration and spent five years as a Fiduciary Advisory Specialist and Senior Trust Advisor at Wells Fargo Wealth & Investment Management.

Jackson received his BA from Harvard University and his JD from the University of Michigan. He currently serves on the board of the Terwilliger Plaza Foundation and volunteers with the Moot Court program of Civics Learning Project. He previously served on the board of the Oregon Historical Society. Jackson and his wife caravan between Portland and Sunriver with their golden retriever and elderly cat. They have two children, one in high school and one in college, who will join them occasionally (usually under duress).
