I’ve always been fascinated by money, but I never planned on working in finance. Fresh out of college I moved to Columbus, Ohio to live with my wife while she finished up grad school. I needed a job, and I stumbled my way into a role at Morgan Stanley by responding to a sketchy Craigslist ad. I was about 70% certain it was a scam. Luckily it wasn’t, and I got the job! It was a great learning experience, and I got my feet wet while learning the industry fundamentals there. After a few years though my dad recruited me to return to my hometown in Charlotte, NC to help run the family business in the natural gas industry. I loved working with family, but ultimately decided my heart wasn’t in it. Discussing thread counts on screws and the viscosity of silicone didn’t get my intellectual juices flowing. Meanwhile I was spending countless hours of my free time researching personal finance and finally had the realization “why don’t I make a career out of this?” So I made the difficult decision (sorry, dad) to transition back into finance with a job at Vanguard. I was right. This was finally scratching that intellectual itch. But I wanted to make a more personal impact on people’s lives, and I couldn’t accomplish that as a tiny cog in a giant machine. So I took jobs at a few smaller firms where I was able to develop personal relationships with clients, get their finances on track, and help them accomplish their goals. Now this was my jam! During my time there I worked with clients in tech and realized how much complexity there was in managing their finances. Managing their company equity was complicated! Managing their stock options was extra complicated! But I loved the complexity, I loved the people, and I loved the look on their face when it all finally came together. Soon though, I began to get the entrepreneurial itch (thanks, dad) to start my own firm. I knew exactly who I wanted to work with – tech professionals. I saw first hand the impact I could have in their lives. That was my inspiration for founding Tech Financial Planning. Now I get to put it all together: intellectual fulfillment, meaningful relationships, and personal impact, all while working with awesome folk in tech solving their complex problems. Now that’s what I call a dream job! As for a bit about my personal life, in 2022 I celebrated my 10th wedding anniversary with my amazing wife, Allie. We met in high school and survived a 4-year long distance relationship during college while she attended school in Ohio and I attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. We have two amazing kids, Elliot and Reya, and an adorable, yet clingy Australian Shepherd named Cassie. I value experiences over things, so my wife and I love traveling domestically and internationally to explore new places and cultures. I’m also a firm believer that you don’t need to spend money to have fun, so I’m always exploring my current hometown, Nashville, for fun, free activities. I love board games, I’m an avid podcast listener, and I’m always on the lookout for a great show to binge.

Tim brings over 15 years of industry experience. He graduated from Miami University with a Finance Degree from the Business Honors Program. He spent most of his first 9 years in the industry directly supporting individuals as a financial advisor with Fidelity Investments where he grew his practice to over $500 million. He transitioned to Charles Schwab where he spent the last few years leading a team of advisors where he was responsible for the retail branches for most of Tennessee. He helped grow his team from 17 to over 30 representatives with responsibility for over 80,000 families and households. Tim has always been interested in the FIRE movement (Financial Independence/Retire Early). However, as he reached the mid-point of his career he decided that he really enjoys working, helping people achieve their goals, and that he could have the most valuable impact working with a small group of people. He left Charles Schwab to found Nashville Finacial Planning in August of 2023 as it would be the perfect time to bring his 15+ years of experience to helping people for the next 15-20 years. Given his experience at two of the largest firms in the industry he has seen how much money people can pay in fees, and how a lot of advisors are incentivized to continue growing while neglecting a portion of their clients. Nashville Financial Planning was not only founded to help solve these two challenges (fixed fee and limited client base), but the true independent model gives a lot more flexibility to help people in areas of their financial life where they need it most in an unbiased way.
