My Story and Services

Colton Lowery is a Financial Advisor and a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC) at Morgan Stanley. His journey into finance began at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the Gary W. Rollins College of Business. After graduation, he quickly obtained his licenses in Life and Health Insurance, along with Series 7 and Series 66 certifications, equipping him with the tools necessary to guide his clients through complex financial situations.

Colton’s passion for finance was sparked in high school and was further fueled by his involvement in a campus organization that managed investment portfolios. This early exposure led him to appreciate the significance of financial literacy and inspired him to pursue a career as a Financial Advisor. His approach is deeply rooted in personalized strategies and collaboration, seeking to ensure that every client’s financial situation is handled with utmost care and precision. He finds great joy in building lasting relationships with his clients, helping them achieve their financial goals and celebrating their milestones.

Outside of his professional life, Colton is an active member of his community, committed to promoting financial awareness among young people. He enjoys an active lifestyle with his fiancée and their beloved dogs and cheering on their local sports teams. Known for delivering exceptional service, Colton provides investment strategies that seek to help ensure his clients’ portfolios are aligned with their long-term financial aspirations.

My Commitment to You

The relationships I build with clients are grounded in trust, transparency, and a genuine commitment to helping them succeed. I believe financial advice should feel personal, approachable, and tailored to your goals—not transactional. These principles guide every client relationship and shape the experience I strive to provide for individuals, families, and future generations alike.
