About Joey Hudson
As the Financial Advisor Associate for the Harbor Pilot Group, I'm here to help. I've spent over 10 years of my professional career in client services and while most of that time hasn't been in finance, it has always been with a passion to find solutions to problems big and small. Regardless of who you are or why you've come to us, you deserve to be greeted with enthusiasm, treated with respect, and listened to with empathy. Above all else, those are the goals I strive for with each and every client I work with.
Before I joined the Harbor Pilot Group in the summer of 2021 I was working in the tech sector, helping movie theater owners build websites and working with big data. While it may seem a stark departure from my degree in Financial Accounting, the background has been invaluable to my role and has better enabled me to help clients of all ages and experiences esign documents, check their financial picture online, or send money where it needs to go. No matter your walk of life, I'm eager to show you that you're capable of using the technology available to help you achieve your goals.
I count myself extremely fortunate to be in a position to learn from the team's combined decades of experience When I'm not working, chances are I'm trying to get my two fat cats to lose weight, teaching myself Python, or if the weather's nice I have likely gotten myself very lost while hiking.
Whether you're looking to move mountains or just move a little bit of money, I look forward to speaking with you!
