For over 30 years, Steve has helped individuals, couples and families develop a roadmap for achieving their financial goals through listening to their needs, delivering sound advice and providing results-driven investment strategies. Whether your goals center around a worry-free lifestyle in retirement, selling a family-owned business or developing an efficient estate plan, Steve will help you pursue the goals that matter to you most. Every situation is unique, which is why he works to gain a clear understanding of his clients before customizing a financial and investment strategy to help them accomplish their desires.

After 20 years as a Financial Advisor, Steve invited his niece, Laura Moore, to form the Sorensen Moore Group in order to enhance their comprehensive approach to working with clients. Together, they provide leadership in discretionary portfolio management. They proactively manage portfolios by using various levels of cash and other securities to help shield clients against market risk and volatility versus more traditional “buy & hold” strategies. In 2021, Steve and Laura joined UBS Financial Services Inc. where they have access to UBS’ broad array of resources for individuals and privately-held businesses.  

On a personal note, Steve and his wife, Lea Ann have been married since 1989 and have four wonderful children. They enjoy spending time with family and friends. Their interests include exercise, the beach, snow skiing and attending Clemson football games.
