Meet John & Michelle Leckliter

Cornerstone Heritage Capital is a family-owned acquisition company founded by John and Michelle Leckliter. For more than two decades, we have owned and operated a business dedicated to helping employers provide valuable employee benefits through payroll deduction programs.

Throughout that time, we have worked directly with business owners, executive teams, human resource professionals, and employees to implement benefit solutions, coordinate large-scale enrollment initiatives, recruit and manage teams, and build long-term business relationships.

Our experience has given us firsthand insight into what it takes to build and sustain a successful business. Through Cornerstone Heritage Capital, we seek to acquire and operate one exceptional company while preserving the values, culture, relationships, and reputation that made it successful.
