Experience Makes all the difference

It’s easier to make the right decisions when you’re guided by advice you can trust—advice that’s focused on what matters most to you.

That’s why my first priority is to talk with you about your personal and professional financial goals. And I’ll maintain that open dialogue so that the course of action we decide on is relevant and reflects your life and circumstances today, but also looks strategically toward the future.

I will partner with you to create a fully integrated plan for managing your wealth. Backed by the broadest selection of resources from within UBS and our external partners, I will help you explore opportunities to grow and protect your wealth and prepare for any potential obstacles as we work together over time.

I began my career as a Financial Advisor to fulfill a need to care for and help others. Over the past 25 years with UBS Financial Services Inc., this desire has successfully helped clients manage their wealth throughout good times and bad. I attribute much of my success to my entrepreneurial spirit, and to the fact that I genuinely enjoy helping my clients reach their financial goals.

As one of a select number of Private Wealth Advisors who has completed a rigorous accreditation program at UBS, I am able to provide my clients with a higher level of expertise. I emphasize preservation of capital and total portfolio management, focusing on overall growth of income and retirement income planning.

My bachelor’s degree in economics is from the University of North Carolina (UNC) -- Chapel Hill. After serving as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, I returned to UNC -- Chapel Hill and earned my M.B.A. in Business Administration.

In addition to my career, I am actively involved in my community. I am a member of the Technology Association of Georgia (TAG), and serve on the Capital Campaign at the Atlanta Classical Academy. I am past president of the UNC Alumni Atlanta Chapter and for many years I was involved with the Atlanta Red Cross. Also, I am a dedicated Cub Scout den leader and devote a portion of my time to the Stephen Ministry. In my free time I enjoy fishing and hiking with my wife, Diane, and my three children in Highlands, NC.

My introduction to the financial industry began as an adolescent, having a bird's eye view of my father's career as he too worked in the Financial Services Industry in Atlanta.  This unique exposure propelled my interest in investments and my career was cemented at the age of 12, when I purchased my first stock.

Prior to joining UBS, I was selected for Coca-Cola's elite sales leadership program and gained a wide variety of investment experience with Mutual Funds, ETFs and UITs as an Internal Consultant for Invesco in Houston, TX.

As a Senior Wealth Strategy Associate with The Respess Group, my primary focus is financial planning and equity analysis.  I work directly with each client to provide a customized financial plan including total portfolio composition.

I received my bachelor's degree in Managerial Finance from the University of Mississippi, which I go back and visit during football season every chance I get. I also enjoy golfing, hunting and fishing.

I joined The Respess Group in 2014 after gaining invaluable experience working with advisors in New York, Washington D.C., Sarasota and Denver. I attribute much of my success to being proactive and diligent. I understand that each client is different – from a new investor to one with years of experience – and I work to understand each individual's circumstances.

With our clients, I focus on exceptional service while being responsible for all administrative, operational and compliance functions of our team. I am gratified by the long-term, solid relationships developed with clients and their families.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my two sons, two rescue dogs and one very talkative Amazon parrot.
