When I was in 2nd grade, I loved hot wheels as much as if not more than the other kids in my class. There was just one "small" difference. I never played with the cars. I looked at them as future investments and not as toys. This is where I found my passion and more importantly, patience for long-term investment strategies. Although, my purchases/investments have evolved from diecast cars, I still remember what started my ride on this track!I joined Edward Jones as an advisor after being a client for over a decade with a goal to simplify investing for the everyday investor. I want to help you with your financial goals just like my advisor helped me. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business from The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, a Master of Business Administration from Lee University, and my AAMS™ from The College of Financial Planning. I have spent my career working in finance, risk analysis, portfolio management, and corporate leadership. My education along with my diverse experience allows me to look at your unique situation from many viewpoints.I believe it is imperative to invest my time understanding what is most important to you before you invest your money with me. Whether your goals include preparing for or living in retirement, paying for education, or planning for the unexpected, I am here to help.My favorite time is spent with my wife, Rachel, and our children, Sam, Sadie, and Stella. We love the outdoors, volunteering in our community, and staying involved in all kinds of youth activities depending on the season. In my spare time, you can find me gasping for air on a downtown jog, yelling fore on the golf course, or losing my favorite lucky lure in a tree.My branch office administrator, Kristy Ogle, began her career with Edward Jones in 2013. Some say she is the better half of our team. I cannot disagree. Her knowledge and experience allow her to handle your questions and needs even before they arise. She was raised in Cleveland and enjoys spending time with her husband, three children, and grandkids. Kristy and I are dedicated to providing you with the highest level of service possible.The best time to plant a shade tree is 20 years ago. The next best time is now. Let's start working toward your future!Bradley Hudson, AAMS™(423) 476-3320bradley.hudson@edwardjones.comFollow me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/EJAdvisorBradleyHudson/*********/For instructions to opt out of Edward Jones commercial messaging and other important disclosures, see www.edwardjones.com/disclosures/social-media.
