I was born in Chattanooga, TN and I've lived in Memphis, TN for 50 years. I attended the University of Tennessee Knoxville before graduating from the University of Tennessee at Memphis College of Dentistry in 1981. I started a dual career of financial advisory in insurance and securities in 1986. I was the founding member at Financial Resource Management in Memphis in 1994. I sold my dental practice in 1998. In 2002, I joined FTN Financial of Memphis, TN, the Capital Markets arm of First Horizon Corp, as Sr. Vice President of the Strategic Financial Group with emphasis on BOLI, Non Qualified Deferred Compensation, and creative financial products for correspondent community banks. I then joined Strategic Financial Partners in early 2008 as a registered representative.
