I am a Financial Advisor and Founder of Allegiant Investments & Insurance. We are located at 3340 Military Hwy, Pineville, Louisiana.
I have 24 years of experience as an Advisor with Fidelity Investments, Edward Jones Investments and now as an independent Advisor with Osaic Wealth, Inc.
For 3 years, at the call center for Fidelity Investments in Irving, TX, I took 70-90 calls per day through Fidelity's 1-800#. While there, I realized the importance of listening to client's needs and concerns. I also realized none of these clients had a relationship with an advisor that really knew them or their families. They were just calls coming in through the line. Once they hung up, our interaction was over, and we would never speak again.
My wife and I relocated back home to central Louisiana in 1994. For the next 5 years I worked with the Rapides School Employees Federal Credit Union, now Cenla Federal Credit Union. As collection officer, loan officer and branch manager, I helped school employees and their families with their banking and lending needs. It was there that I learned the importance of face-to-face interactions with clients. This led to long-term trusted relationships.
In 1999, I decided to combine my experience of working with a large investment firm and a smaller credit union and open an Edward Jones Investments branch office from scratch. It was challenging and rewarding. Over the next 17 years, I built long-term trusted relationships with clients through two brutal bear markets and two roaring bull markets. This taught me the importance of managing risk and staying invested for the long-term.
Now, I'm putting my experience to work as an independent Financial Advisor through Osaic Wealth, Inc, one of the oldest and largest in the nation. I am committed to helping clients reach their financial goals and manage their risk, while keeping fees and expenses reasonable and transparent.
Allegiant means “loyal to a group” and I want clients to know they are working with someone loyal to them and their success. I've always believed if my clients succeed, then I would too.
I work, live and worship in central Louisiana with my wife, Mandy and our two daughters.
