    Since 1993, Jeff has been helping a diverse clientele of business owners, professionals, executives, and their families with all aspects of their financial lives. His background as a commercial lending officer and private banker, combined with his M.B.A., experience as a portfolio manager and his designations as both a Certified Financial PlannerTM (CFP®) professional and Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®), has given him a rare set of skills and insights that sets him apart from other advisors.

    Jeff’s commitment to financial planning comes directly out of his own life experience. Shortly after Jeff finished college, his father suddenly passed away. Because his father had done little financial planning, Jeff was forced into action and quickly took the reins to settle his father’s business and set a plan for his widowed mother. The experience put him on his path as a financial advisor, not only because of his financial acumen but because of his compassionate understanding of the experiences and emotions that play a role in one’s feeling of security and independence.

    Originally from Guthrie, OK, Jeff has called Gainesville, FL home since 1974 where he and his wife, Amy, are raising their two children, Kendall and Carson. Outside of work, Jeff enjoys traveling, hiking, scuba diving, and coaching youth athletics.  Jeff's community involvement includes serving on several boards and committees including Haven Hospice, the Community Foundation of North Central Florida and Anthem Community Church. Jeff is a graduate of the Greater Gainesville Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Gainesville program. He has been recognized by the Community Foundation of North Central Florida as an inaugural member of the Door Opener’s Society and received the 2020 Legacy Award for professional advisors.  He was also named the 2020 "Best of the Best" financial advisor by the readers of the Gainesville Sun newspaper.
