ABOUT CEDAR FINANCIAL GROUP

Jason R. Childs

President of Cedar Financial

God, Family, and Country.

That pretty much sums up who I am. God has giving so many blessings there's too many really to list but I'll give you a few.

Married to my Beautiful Wife for 29 years. I have 3 Sons Colin, Levi, Raven (no were not Raven football fans, remember were in Pittsburgh! Go Steelers!) I have 2 daughters Della and Riley. I am now a grandfather to a new Grandson named Chase. I was blessed to be able to start Cedar Financial Group in 2020. Since then We have continually grown all through Western Pa, and are licensed in about 12 States. We have grown our offerings from life insurance only to Health insurance, Medicare options, Group health and voluntary benefits, social security planning and Retirement Solutions. We plan to add Auto and Home as well as Legacy Planning in our offerings very soon. Our Partners of Cedar have well over 100 years of experience and we only choose Carriers that are second to none when it comes to financial stability and customer service . My previous life I was a Sgt. in the US Army Field Artillery I spent some time over seas and did some pretty cool things. Mainly got to shoot really BIG guns! I first got licensed in insurance in the state of Washington in 2002. In my previous life I spent many years in the automotive business as a Finance Manager, Finance Director, Sales and Finance Trainer and ultimately General Manager of a local auto group. My past has really given me a great background in Serving clients. I truly Love what I do and what we stand for here at Cedar Financial. Thanks for letting me introduce myself. I look forward to serving you and your family.

God Bless,

Jason R Childs

I specialize in retirement planning, medicare and life insurance. I have been in the financial service industry for nearly a decade.

Helping people make informed decisions that’s best tailored towards their specific needs keeps everyday fresh and exciting. I enjoy meeting new people and genuinely making friends with my clients.

I’ve also been a baseball coach across multiple levels since 2017, so naturally I have a career that’s essentially, coaching individuals and families to help them secure their financial future.

Outside of the office, when I am not at the baseball fields, I am a passionate outdoorsman, husband and Notre Dame fan (GO IRISH!). I married my beautiful wife, Julia, in June of 2024. We enjoy traveling, live music and finding great new restaurants.

Never hesitate to give me a call, I would love to help you!

JOE FERRARI

Agent

Coming from a hands-on background and growing up around my father's excavation business and my grandfather's welding business, I understand what it means to earn every dollar. That's why I'm passionate about helping people and families protect their income, plan for retirement, and preserve their legacy.

I focus on clear communication, practical solutions, and building trust the right way.

When I'm not working with clients, you'll likely find me hunting, fishing, or snowboarding. I appreciate hard work, the outdoors, and straightforward conversations and that's exactly how I approach my business.

If you're looking for someone who will treat you and your future with the same care he would his own, I'd be honored to help.
