First Vice President–Wealth Management
Byron was inspired to become a Financial Advisor at a young age by what he calls the “Story of Two Grandparents.” His father’s family in Tallahassee owned a small auto-body shop, whereas his mother’s family in Atlanta participated in retirement savings plans through their corporate careers. Both sets of grandparents retired successfully, however each taking very different paths to financial security. From this, Byron understood the value of financial education and trusted partnerships along the journey, and brings this insight with him into each client relationship; different backgrounds and conversations can make a world of difference for you and your family.
Byron joined UBS in 2023, a global wealth management firm that caters to affluent families, executives, institutions and business owners to expand his solutions and advice for clients. Specifically, Byron is excited to deliver advanced planning and global financial investments, research and advice to clientele. Byron is passionate about being a trust financial planning partner to his clients, and helping them enjoy what they work so hard to achieve.
