      • Managing Director
      As a founding member of The Parson | Dedic Wealth Management Group, Paul understands that trust is the bedrock of any successful outcome. That’s why he works to build strong relationships between his clients and his team. Paul strives to help individual financial goals become reality through a highly-customized investment process while helping his clients understand and manage risk versus reward.

      Prior to founding The Parson | Dedic Investment Group (formerly The Church/Parson Investment Group) in 2005, Paul worked with A.G. Edwards and Sons, a predecessor firm of Wells Fargo Advisors, starting in 1998.

      In 2022, Paul was named to the Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisor list in the state of Michigan. *The Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Advisors* rating algorithm is based on the previous year’s industry experience, interviews, compliance records, assets under management, revenue and other criteria by SHOOK Research, LLC, which does not receive compensation from the advisors or their firms in exchange for placement on a rating. Investment performance is not a criterion. Self-completed survey was used for rating. This rating is not related to the quality of the investment advice and based solely on the disclosed criteria.   

      He received his business degree from Delta College and received his Certified Investment Management Analyst® certification (CIMA®) from the Wharton School of Business. Paul holds FINRA Series 7 and 66 registrations. A lifelong learner, Paul is energetic about seeking new opportunities to grow and learn new skills to the benefit of his clients. He completed the Dale Carnegie Management Leadership course. Paul continuously encourages his team to seek continuing education opportunities for personal and professional growth.
