About me

Background

Ski Bender is a Financial Advisor with Truist Investment Services, Inc. and the Managing Director of The Bender Thompson Group of Truist Investment Services, Inc. His clients rely on his extensive experience and disciplined framework to help improve their financial lives. He also serves on the firm’s advisory board, which is the voice of the firm’s financial advisors to executive management.

Ski’s passion for saving and investing was instilled in him at a young age by his grandfather. It served as the catalyst for him pursuing an education in economics, earning his Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor™ (CRPC®) designation, and a career in financial services. That career started with J.C. Bradford in 1997, before he transitioned to resident director in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Lexington, Kentucky, for Merrill Lynch and then Truist in 2014.
