About Jerry

My career in finance began in 1968 as a life insurance agent. In 1971, I obtained my securities license.  It is my desire to use mutual funds, stocks and bonds, variable annuities, managed accounts, life insurance and other financial products to help my clients meet their financial objectives and needs. 

I am a series 7 registered representative and registered investment advisor representative with Cambridge Investment Research.  I am licensed in the states of FL, KY, NC, PA, SC, VA for the sale of securities.  I have over 100 fee-based clients and over 700 other clients.

Family and church are very important to my life. My family includes my wife Agnes, two children, Jeff and Mel, and two grandsons whom I enjoy spending time with.  I am a Sunday school teacher at Arrowwood Baptist Church in Chesnee, SC. One of my favorite hobbies is golf.
