About me

Background

Scott began his career in the financial industry in 1989. He became a licensed Financial Advisor in 1993 with Wachovia Investments and later moved his practice to Bank of America/Merrill Lynch in 2005. Scott joined Truist in 2017 as a Managing Director.

As a Financial Advisor, Scott is committed to building lifelong relationships built on trust. This process begins by understanding a client’s specific goals and objectives. Regardless of a client’s investment experience, he takes great pride in educating and informing them as to the products and solutions available in the marketplace. Once this foundation is established, he builds a portfolio customized to their individual needs. This may include income generation, tax advantages, retirement planning, education planning, wealth accumulation/transfer, estate planning, long-term care, and life insurance. The final step is to provide impeccable customer service to clients whose needs and interests are paramount.

Scott is a 1989 Magna Cum Laude graduate of East Carolina University School of Business.
