About me

Wes is committed to helping you get closer to your dreams. When you partner with him, you can expect a judgment-free, pressure-free environment with conversations that will be jargon-free. We strive to provide you the best experience possible.

As a Financial Advisor at Northwestern Mutual, our approach prioritizes comprehensive planning that addresses both offense and defense strategies, just like any good football playbook. Our goal is to safeguard individuals, families, and businesses while also fostering their prosperity.

Wes graduated from Furman University, where he was a member and Captain of the Football Team, with a B.A. in Health and Exercise Science. 

After 15 years in the technology industry, he reflected on his career and sought a path that would better align with his passion for helping others. As a client of Northwestern Mutual for over a decade prior to becoming an advisor himself, Wes and his family witnessed firsthand the profound impact financial planning has had on securing his family's financial future. This realization inspired him to build a practice with Northwestern Mutual, where he can continue to build relationships and make a positive difference in the lives of others. He looks forward to serving others and building meaningful relationships.

Wes holds the life and health, securities and investment essentials, Series 6 and Series 63 licenses. Personally, he and his family enjoy cheering on the Furman Paladins, serving on the Furman Football Players Association Board, playing golf and spending time with friends in the community. He is married to his wife, Claire, and they have two daughters.

As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)

ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.

Beads of Courage

Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
