PROFILE

Josel is an active citizen of his community. After graduating from DLSU, he took a career path in the printing and publishing industry whilst teaching Filipino literature and World History to high school students in his beloved BF Homes community where he was born and raised. He was appointed to serve government briefly (2011-2012) in the local government level. However, after a year of service, he begged off the continuation of his appointive position as the financial planning field showed greater potential for continuing education and career advancement. At present he still serves the local government of Barangay BF Homes Paranaque as a management and personnel consultant.

A man of varied interests, family and friends consider him to be a wide reader and animated conversationalist. His presentation skills serve him well in his chosen path in the financial services and corporate training field.

He is a father of three boys aged 8, 6, and 4-years-old. Josel is married to the elegantly beautiful and intelligent, Maria Rovie Grande- Gaston, herself a Family Wealth Planner for AXA Philippines. Rovie is also making her mark in the financial services field with particular concentration on health insurance and estate planning.
