I began my professional career as an 8th grade English teacher. In that time I discovered some of the many difficulties educators face both professionally and privately. One common area of frustration I recognized across individual schools, districts, and even in conversations with educators in other states, was a lack of financial confidence. Entering into the field of financial advising, I began working with teachers and other individuals under the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System to help instill that needed financial confidence through advising and education. As I have continued to grow in my practice, I have developed relationships with clients across other industries as well, such as healthcare.I am joyfully married to my beautiful wife of 7 years, Paige. The Lord has blessed us with three wonderful children: Thomas, Walter, and Penelope. When we are not taking a family walk after dinner, reading books aloud to our children, or enjoying fellowship with friends from church, we can be found consumed in a competitive game of cards or enjoying our favorite movies together.Securities offered through Kestra Investment Services, LLC (Kestra IS), Member FINRA/SIPC (www.finra.org; www.sipc.org).
