Since 1999, I have been helping families and businesses make smart financial decisions. I strive to be a resource to my clients by providing professional insight and guiding them through life's financial goals and obstacles. My only allegiance is to the clients and families that I serve. My clients' best interest always comes first.
Raised among the tobacco fields of Nash County, John has spent his entire life in Eastern North Carolina. He came from a long line of small business owners and entrepreneurs and serves others with an emphasis on quality and the value of hard work.
John splits his time between the Outer Banks and Greenville, NC. In his spare time, he enjoys road course racing his classic Mazda, home improvement projects, and spending time with friends and family.
I got my start with large financial institutions and working as an advisor in banks. As these banks grew and the names started changing, I saw their focus drift away from the needs of clients and it became more about the bottom line. I knew there was a better way to serve my clients. That is why Seagate Advisors was formed.
Seagate established a culture based on integrity, independence and objectivity that allows us to focus on what is best for our clients. As a boutique wealth management firm we can offer personalized, face to face service. Our independence allows us the flexibility to provide an unparalleled level of service.
