I’m an independent financial planner based in West Knoxville, TN that specializes in (and really enjoys!) working with Retirees and those within 10 years of retirement.

My first job out of college was here at Providence, starting in May 2013.

Paul hired me then to help our firm’s clients better navigate the Social Security filing process. I spent 6 years absorbing every Social Security resource I could find before I decided I wanted to sit for the CFP® exam in 2019.

Many of the commonly asked questions about who I work with, what services I provide, and how fees work are all transparently answered on our Work With Us Page at the top of this website or by clicking on this link.

I obtained my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification in 2019. Here’s a helpful article (link) on why I believe choosing a CFP® professional is important.

I became licensed as an Investment Advisor Representative in 2013.

I obtained a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 2012.

Born and raised in Tennessee…the first part of my life was spent growing up in a small town in northern Middle Tennessee called Cedar Hill (Robertson County).

I attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, got married and have called Knoxville home since 2013.

My wife (Eva) and I got married in 2013. She’s a big-time runner, homeschools both of our children, and a friend to many. We have two children, Ella (9) and Miles (6).
