Experience

Don has spent more than 35 years' developing a financial services practice based on consistent communication and comprehensive financial plans.  What sets his practice apart is his extensive investment experience  and his commitment to delivering results for his clients.

Graduating in 1979 with a BBA in Accounting from The University of Memphis, Don has become a true activist for the city.  Currently, he serves as the Chairman of the Finance Committee at St. Peter Catholic Church, the Chairman of The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Memphis Investment Committee, and the Treasurer of the RiverArts Festival.  He and his wife, Sherry, live downtown and are avid Memphis football, basketball, and Grizzlies fans.  Both of their daughters still reside in Memphis and they have a mini golden-doodle named Conley.

Jordan joined Don's team in 2009 and her primary role is helping the team plan for each client's investment goals and providing the research needed to make investment decisions. After obtaining a Masters of Science in Business Administration from The University of Memphis, she achieved her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER designation in 2014.  She spends time each year reviewing tax changes, planning strategies, and employer retirement plans to better inform their clients. 

Outside the office, Jordan resides in East Memphis with her husband, son and three dogs. She is an avid chef and gardener.  She is a current board member at Page Robbins Adult Day Center, on the FedEx St. Jude Classic Courses & Cocktails committee, and is active with her church.

Melanie's role on the team is to ensure that every client receives the full UBS client experience. She is an expert in servicing client accounts, our banking capabilities, and managing the needs of multi-generational households. Prior to joining Williams Edmundson Wealth Management in 2017, Melanie had 11 years of experience with UBS and has over 22 years of experience in financial services.  She holds a Series 7 and 63 license.

She is originally from Memphis and received her BBA in Business Management from The University of Memphis. Melanie now lives in Germantown with her husband and son and their family pets, Sienna and Daisy.  She and her husband are very active in their church community and spend time supporting their son's school.  Melanie also volunteers through UBS initiatives each year with Room in the Inn, Red Zone Ministries, and the Mid-South Food Bank.
