About Me
Dreux Hargus is an accomplished Private Wealth Manager who focuses primarily on the complex financial needs of family offices, successful entrepreneurs and founders. Many of these relationships began relatively early in the entrepreneurial lifecycle, where an experienced perspective was highly valued. He guided many of these clients through the capital-raising process, advising them on the full range of planning strategies that can be employed to fund their businesses and optimize after-tax outcomes from their eventual IPO or other monetization event.
Dreux began his professional career in 2010, joining the Leadership Development Program of BB&T (now Truist). This early experience as a rotational analyst just after the worst of the financial crisis was instrumental in his career development. After eight years at BB&T, primarily in their Private Banking unit, he moved to JPMorgan in Austin, focusing his efforts on addressing the wealth management needs of the city’s thriving community of young entrepreneurs. He moved with his team to Morgan Stanley in 2026. Dreux graduated from Florida State University with an undergraduate business degree and an MBA, and went on to earn professional certifications as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER, TM and Chartered Financial Analyst.®
Dreux spent his childhood traveling internationally wherever his father’s career as an U.S. Army Ranger and Intelligence Officer took the family. This upbringing shaped his values and inspires his commitment to serving his community. This commitment is reflected in his board-level volunteer service with the Salvation Army regional commands, The Boy Scouts of America in Central Texas, Leadership Austin Essential and other organizations. Outside of work, Dreux enjoys spending time with his wife, Samantha, traveling and visiting their family farm in Arkansas. He is also an avid hunter with their dog, Walter, and FSU Seminoles superfan.
