About Srikant Jonnada
Sri moved to the United States from India in 1991 and quickly fell in love with the Oklahoma City community. After operating several businesses of his own, Sri realized the great opportunity and reward of helping other business owners and individuals achieve success in their own lives. As a result, in 2009, Sri began his career in financial planning and advising*. Now ten years later, Sri serves as Founder, Principal, and Financial Advisor of Journey Financial Strategies.
Through Journey Financial Strategies, Sri serves his clients and his community, working tirelessly to bring value to the people around him. His success today is a direct result of his passion for business, his eagerness to help business owners and clients, and his loyalty to the Oklahoma City community. His strengths have always been his strong work ethic, the pursuit of knowledge, and his tenacity to keep fighting through difficult times.

Nothing is more important to Sri than being an extremely involved and present father to his son Dash, they spend a lot of time together. They enjoy the great outdoors: camping, fishing, parks, and hiking. At home, they spend time together by cooking, gardening, reading and wrestling! They also spend a lot of time with their dogs Charles Barkley and Miss Maggie. Sri’s hobbies are planting, repairs and construction with his hands, tinkering, and traveling, mostly with Dash.
Being a crucial part of Sri’s life, his community service and giving back includes serving on the Board of the Oklahoma City Employee’s Pension, an Associate Board member of the Oklahoma Lawyers for Children, and other local business and community groups. He passes on this mindset to his son; often handing out food, donuts, water, and clothing around the metro to the homeless community. They also help their friends at any opportunity they get!
