As Vice President, Matt works closely with clients to create detailed financial plans and investment analysis. His responsibilities include developing investment strategies, preparing retirement solutions, evaluating financial planning scenarios, addressing estate planning needs, conducting regular portfolio reviews, and collaborating with clients to help them reach their financial goals. Additionally, Matt works with qualified business retirement plans such as 401(k) plans or Cash Balance plans, which sometimes take him off-site to conduct enrollment or educational meetings for employees of our business clients.
Originally from Jackson, MS, Matt now resides in Clinton with his wife, Paula, who is originally from Meridian. They have two children: Peyton is a senior at Mississippi College who is pursuing a career in physical therapy. She works at the local Cafezinho Coffee shop, is active in Laguna Social Tribe and tutors high school students in her spare time. Kellan is a freshman attending Mississippi State University who is active in Campus Outreach and Kappa Sigma fraternity. He works at the local 7 Brew Coffee drive thru and enjoys working out and snowboarding.
Outside of work, Matt is serving in his first year as an elder at Morrison Heights Baptist Church. He remains passionate about soccer, but now enjoys more time watching baseball, tailgating at Mississippi State football games, and the occasional afternoon spent hunting or fishing. His latest hobby is an interest in gardening, and one of his favorite weekly activities is hosting 4×4 groups, where he encourages young men to mentor their peers. Matt still maintains a keen interest in photography and enjoys traveling with friends and family whenever the opportunity arises.
