Managing your financial life is all about balance. Intelligent investing, for example, is a balance between the returns you earn and the risk you incur. Financial planning balances what you have versus what you’ll need for the future. Effective cash flow management means balancing what you bring in versus what you pay out. While some advisors focus exclusively on investments, Jody applies this style of “balanced” wealth management to every financial recommendation he makes to his clients
Jody’s areas of focus include endowments, foundations, high net worth individuals, family businesses, law practices, land preservation trusts, structured settlements, and special needs trusts.
Jody is a Family Wealth Advisor, a designation earned by a select group of Morgan Stanley financial advisors. Previously, with UBS Financial Services, Inc., he was recognized by the UBS PACESETTER Recognition Council as one of the Firm’s leading financial advisors.
Jody graduated from The University of Alabama with a Bachelor of Science in Commerce and Business Administration. He later received a Masters of Arts in Finance from The Manderson School of Business at The University of Alabama with concentrations in Investment Management, Global Real Estate, and Global Capital Markets.
Jody has served on the Board of Directors of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and was part of their Act II Crew. He is a member of The Director’s Circle at The Montgomery Museum of Fine Art. Jody attends First United Methodist Church in Montgomery, AL, with his two sons, Duncan and Thomas.
