I joined Janney in 2015, attracted to the comprehensive range of investment solutions offered and its commitment to the individual investor. Janney's staff possess a high degree of professionalism and are aligned to the firm's client-centric platform. My previous firms were instrumental in carving a career path that I have enjoyed for over 30 years. I regularly author a financial advice column for a local magazine and have been interviewed many times for print, radio and television over the course of 15 years.
A graduate of the University of South Carolina, I hold a Master of Business Administration with a Concentration in Finance and Management and a Bachelor of Arts with a major in International Studies and a minor in Business Management. I hold Series 7 and 66 securities licenses as well as Life, Health and Long-term Care Producer's licenses. Over the span of my career, I have received many awards for client service excellence.
I have been involved in the local community for many years. Currently, I have the privilege of being a Board Member for the Economic Development Partnership. Additionally, I serve as Chair of the Aiken County Human Relations Council. I served on the Aiken County Council from 2003 - 2014; and a two-time past President of the Aiken Kiwanis Club; past Chair of the American Red Cross (local and state level), having received the Clara Barton Award in both roles and served on the Resolutions Committee of the Board of Governors. In addition, I co-founded a charity golf tournament, raising money for local organizations such as Helping Hands (of which I am a former Board member) and Tri-Development.
My wife, Mary Ruth, and I have two sons, Brad and Andrew, both active in sports. I had the pleasure to coach Brad in the Dixie Youth World Series. We are also very active in our church and school (St. Mary Help of Christians). I also enjoy playing golf.
We collaborate with other Janney specialists, as needed, who have in-depth experience in specific disciplines. Together, we can assess your unique situation, analyze difference strategies, and develop a plan fit for your unique needs and goals.
