As Partner at Childs Company, my primary responsibilities center on creating holistic financial plans and investment strategies that help clients reach their goals while building the kind of relationships that cultivate deep trust. This trust allows us to serve as advisors in all financial areas of clients' lives.
My career began at Ernst & Young, LLP, where I served as a Senior Accountant in the Assurance practice. That experience included working on an initial public offering for a Fortune Global 100 Company and performing extensive financial analysis for client financial statements. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Master's in Accounting and earned both my CPA and CFP® designations before joining Childs Company.
Growing up south of Atlanta, I spent time with many blue-collar people who worked hard for what they had. This shaped my appreciation for earned success. Now living in Peachtree Corners with my wife Anne and our two sons, I appreciate being part of a community filled with hard-working people and successful business owners.
I maintain a disciplined morning routine highlighted by exercising and reading with Anne, which provides quiet time together before the day begins. I enjoy golf and UGA football, and treasure adventures with my sons and coaching their sports teams.
I'm actively involved with Perimeter Church and support both Corners Outreach and Camp Horizon, a nonprofit organization that serves foster care children in metro Atlanta. I'm also a member of Associated Builders and Contractors, which aligns with the significant amount of work we do with people in the construction industry.
I am a Registered Representative with Kestra Investment Services, LLC, and an Investment Advisor Representative with Kestra Advisory Services, LLC
