After graduating from McCallie School, Morgan studied at the University of Georgia, where he earned a business degree in risk management and insurance. From there, Morgan cultivated a career in Atlanta, working several years at one of the world's largest publicly listed independent providers of claims management, serving clients such as the Coca-Cola Bottlers’ Association and RaceTrac. Morgan served on the board of the Grant Park Conservancy and as a member of the McCallie alumni steering committee during his time in Atlanta.

Morgan left the insurance field and jumped into to the small business world by opening two restaurants. He orchestrated restaurant operations to deliver outstanding service every shift, every day. After being peer-elected to the franchise advisory board, he championed the interests of his fellow business owners. As a small business owner, he exceeded system growth sales averages, mindfully invested in his teams and communities, and consistently earned strong guest satisfaction reviews. He and his family exited the restaurant industry following the sale of their last restaurant and are thrilled to be settling into their new home in Chattanooga. Morgan loves learning about disruptive technology, cycling and enjoying quality time with his young family.

Morgan will initially spend his time supporting the Reynolds and Park team, working alongside Karen and Annette, on the operations and service side. He will focus on client onboarding, reviews, portfolio management, insurance and alternative investments.
