Dwight Mejan, Founder & President

Dwight is the owner and founder of 360 Capital Management. He grew up in the Midwest in a suburb of Chicago. He is the middle of 3 boys. He has a daughter, Hallie, and twin boys, Jacob & Noah. Dwight graduated in 1991 from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and a minor in Finance.

In 1994 Dwight moved to NC with his bride, Dawn, and began his career working for nationally known insurance company where he specialized in working with pre-retirees and retirees. Six years later he was promoted to manage a branch location in Raleigh, NC, where he enjoyed 7 years of building and growing a territory location of 20 counties and managing a large staff.

In 2010 he decided to go out on his own and become independent to provide a broader spectrum of solutions for his clients. Dwight enjoys working with a diverse group of clients from all walks of life and equally enjoys the opportunity to work with members of his family in helping to build fundamentally sound retirement solutions for their clients.

Much of his success in personal investing at an early age he credits to his father’s advice growing up. He would often say, “Create a budget, live within your means and save for a rainy day!”. Both parents modeled character and integrity and he is grateful to them for instilling a set of core values and giving solid advice through the years.

In his free time he enjoys traveling with his family, fly fishing, golf and relaxing in the mountains in western Carolina.
