Focus

I developed an interest in investing and financial markets at a young age as I watched my father, Mike Gregg, become an important partner as a Financial Advisor throughout the lives of his clients.  This led me to work at A.G. Edwards and Sons and UBS Financial Services as an intern in the summers after I graduated from high school. I saw how a Financial Advisor could make a difference in the lives of their clients by providing counsel for important financial decisions throughout their lives. Playing a part in helping clients accomplish their goals by guiding them through difficult times—while also having the privilege to be a part of and celebrate their successes and achievements—is my focus as a Financial Advisor.

Background and Experience

• With more than nineteen years of financial services experience and eighteen as a Financial Advisor, I began my career at AmSouth Bank as a Commercial Loan Relationship Representative. I joined my father, Mike, at his established practice at UBS as a Financial Advisor in 2005 and later as a Financial Advisor and Senior Vice President at Merrill Lynch before joining Wells Fargo Advisors in 2018.

• My educational background includes earning my B.S. in Business Administration from Auburn University.

• Continuing my education as a Financial Advisor, I earned my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^® professional certification as well as my Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor^SM (CRPC^®) designation. These additional designations built my skills in analyzing and developing personal long-term financial strategies, insurance planning and risk management, employee benefits planning, retirement and estate investment planning.

• We enjoy the relationships we build with clients as we listen to their stories to learn about their priorities and goals. It’s rewarding to work with them over time to provide investment strategies and planning based on their unique needs, keeping them up to date with their changing lives, and then seeing the results as they achieve their goals.

Away from the office

Katie and I have been married since 2003 and have two children—Rory and Max. We grew up in this area and live in Homewood, Alabama. Away from the office I enjoy outdoor activities including hiking, running and whitewater kayaking. I also volunteer at our daughter’s school.

Focus
We truly enjoy the relationships we have with our clients and being a part of their lives. We are thankful to be able to help them address financial milestones as life unfolds and recognize how meaningful it is for them and their families. We also enjoy working with the children and grandchildren of our clients. It is a privilege to be their trusted advisors in navigating the challenges and successes in building and preserving wealth—which in turn helps them and their families live the lives they envision.

Background and Experience

• I earned my B.A. in Journalism from Auburn University and my Masters in Secondary Education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

• Prior to my career in financial services, I worked at Southern Progress Corporation for Coastal Living magazine and later as an English teacher at Jefferson County Schools.

• I then had the opportunity to join John and his father Mike in 2010 as a Registered Client Associate at Merrill Lynch. I saw the value Mike and John added to the lives of their clients and wanted a career where I felt like I could have an impact on families. I transitioned to a Financial Advisor role in 2015.

• As a Financial Advisor, it is an honor to work with our clients knowing we have their trust and to help them put financial strategies in place to help them work toward their hopes and dreams.

Away from the office
John and I have been married since 2003 and have two children—Rory and Max. We grew up in this area and live in Homewood, Alabama. We enjoy spending time with our family and outdoor activities including hiking, running, skiing and chasing after our children.

Focus

My focus is our clients. I am dedicated to helping my clients with most anything they need with regards to their accounts including, money movement, opening new accounts, cash management, transfers and consolidation of other accounts, and many other client service needs. Working as a team, I enjoy our shared belief in taking care of our clients with the highest level of service. We are committed to always do what is right for the client.

Background and Experience

• I have more than 25 years in the financial service industry and have my FINRA Series 7 and 66 securities registrations.

• I try to bring a personal touch to each client interaction—treating our clients the way that I would want to be treated. The best client service means following up on tasks, promptly resolving any issues or problems they may have, and being their advocate for issues large or small. No detail is spared.

• On a personal level, I hope that my clients think of me not only as Client Associate for the team, but also as a friend. I care for each and every one of them and I take a genuine interest in their lives.

Away from the office

I am married with two children and three stepchildren. In my spare time I love spending time with my family, gardening, camping and hiking.
