I founded Carrington Financial Planning, LLC, for the single purpose of helping my clients achieve financial success.  I feel a deep sense of responsibility when entrusted with this important aspect of people’s lives.  I also believe that good financial planning must be collaborative in order to be successful.  I work with clients through every step of the process on the way to achieving financial peace of mind.  As a fiduciary advisor, I always put the interests of my clients first and ensure that I meet their needs in a holistic fashion.  That means that I view investment portfolios as just one component of a client’s financial picture.  Good comprehensive financial planning should bring together all aspects of your financial life.  With a well-constructed financial plan, composed of clearly defined goals, combined with a solid investment strategy, we will work together to put you on the pathway to financial success.

Upon graduating from Liberty University with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and a major in Financial Planning in 2019, Logan began his career at a firm in Atlanta. After getting married in 2021, Logan and his wife McKenzie left the big city for the mountains of Colorado, while Logan worked remotely for a large firm in Chicago. Logan has passed the Series 65 exam, Uniform Investment Advisor Law Examination, and is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®). Logan says, "I enjoy this business because it gives me an opportunity to build strong relationships and serve clients in a very important area of their lives. I take that responsibility very seriously and really look forward to building long-lasting and meaningful relationships with those that I get to interact with and serve." Logan was a collegiate athlete during his time at Liberty University and loves being outside. Logan and McKenzie enjoy spending time with their family and friends, as well as hiking, biking, camping and water sports, all of which are motivating factors in bringing them back to western NC (although they look forward to vacationing out west during ski season!). They are passionate about serving in their community, and will look to do so through their church and other volunteer opportunities.
