About Corey Wilson
I feel so blessed every day to wake up and serve our clients as a part of the Tennessee Valley Group at Morgan Stanley. Having worked in this industry since 2002, I offer clients a seasoned professional who is competent to assist you in making life changing financial decisions.
Before graduating from East Tennessee State University with a Bachelor of Business Administration focusing on Finance, I spent much of my energy in serving as a part of Young Life, a ministry focused on impacting High School students. Through this experience I found a deeper understanding and appreciation of individuals’ beliefs, values, and motivations. Ultimately, I came to understand just how important relationships are in our lives. That understanding continues to motivate me today.
By combining my knowledge of finance, statistics, investment planning, and a desire to help people live more meaningful lives, I have been able to accomplish many of my professional and personal goals. My professional credentials include Executive Director-Wealth Management, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner, and Certified Investment Management Analyst®, a designation obtained through a partnership between Morgan Stanley and the Wharton Business School at The University of Pennsylvania and The University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
