Justin discovered his passion for investments and the stock market at an early age -- in middle school!  Combined with his desire to help others, he pursued an education that would allow him to serve his clients while doing what he loves.  He graduated from the University of Tennessee in 2003 with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. Justin's commitment to excellence and staying on the forefront of evolving markets motivated him to obtain his Masters in Business Administration from East Tennessee State University in 2008 and his CFP® certification in 2018.

Justin is a trusted resource in the community and has served in numerous leadership roles with the Rotary Club of Kingsport and the FPCC Board.  Justin lives in East Tennessee with his wife and three children. He is an active member of his church and is often found coaching youth basketball and baseball.

Fun Fact:  Justin's claim to fame dates back to 2014 when he virtually joined the CNBC hosts of "Squawk on the Street" after correctly guessing the exact monthly nonfarm payroll number twice in the same year.   The CNBC hosts kindly sent him autographed shirt that has not been washed or worn to this day!
