My experience in the investment world started during elementary school when I would be an office brat with my father during his time as the head of numerous trust departments for various banks in the Tri-Cities.

This continued throughout my primary education and increased when my father started his own business, Aldebaran Financial Inc.

In addition to working for Aldebaran through the summers of high school, I worked as an intern for Prudential Securities in Charleston WV for a number of weeks in that time. Prudential was bought out by Wachovia and subsequently Wells Fargo.

I worked in various capacity for Aldebaran through my time at Emory and Henry College and began working full time on a regular schedule two days after my graduation in 2003.

Since then I have worked closely with my father in helping build Aldebaran into one of the largest money managers in east Tennessee. Specialties: investments, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, fixed income, portfolio construction, asset allocation.
