Stephen has a talent for breaking down complex financial concepts into clear, actionable steps - think fewer charts and more common sense. A former nuclear-trained electrician for the Navy, he discovered his passion for financial planning after earning his bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Georgia. His dedication to building strong client relationships is at the heart of his work.
With over 15 years of industry experience, Stephen is a Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) specializing in business planning, portfolio management, and alternative investments. He is a Registered Representative with Arkadios Capital and an Investment Advisor Representative with Arkadios Wealth - titles that basically mean he’s got the expertise, credentials, and dedication to help clients make better financial decisions.
When he’s not crunching numbers, Stephen enjoys golfing (sometimes well, sometimes not), hanging with friends and attempting to keep up with his three dogs - Riley, Moose, and Big Dog, who think they run the house. A die-hard Bulldogs, Falcons, and Braves fan, he’s learned to embrace both victory and heartbreak. Most of all, he loves spending time with his wife, Katie, and their daughters, Amelia and Olivia, who keep him on his toes and remind him daily that he is, in fact, not the boss at home.
