Private Wealth Management

Philosophy & Approach

Phillip has over 10 years of experience providing clients with comprehensive wealth management solutions. As part of The Blackmon Group, he helps manage the day-to-day operations of the team. “To be effective in our clients’ lives, we regularly communicate with them to make sure we are fully apprised of their financial situations and life events in order to address their specific needs,” says Phillip. “As part of the team, I assist in portfolio construction and answer questions about overall investment philosophy. I also work closely with our external money managers to relay pertinent information to our clients.”

The Blackmon Group is supported by a client service team with over 25 of years of experience in the financial services industry:

• Valerie Edwards, a registered sales assistant since 2004, oversees accounting matters and client service;
• Jordan Bauer, CPA and CFP®, is responsible for performance reporting, client service, and tax-related questions; and
• Danny Russell, a registered sales assistant, is responsible for client service.
