CFP®
Sr. Wealth Advisor

Success is not defined by having more money in your account. I believe it is found in having meaningful relationships, purpose, and reassurance. I help clients focus on what really matters in their life.

Meet Jeff

Jeff is a Sr. Wealth Advisor based in Houston, Texas. He joined Mercer Advisors in 2007 and served as a Sr. Managing Director and member of the senior leadership team from 2013 to 2019. Prior to Mercer Advisors, he was a leading performer at Prudential Financial where he provided comprehensive financial planning and wealth management guidance to his high-net-worth clients. Jeff began his career in the wealth management industry in 1999. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional and earned a B.S. degree in marketing from Texas A&M University.

Jeff in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

My family! Family is a priority for me and with four kids there is always somewhere to be and something to do!

Any words you try to live by?

Keep God first and everything else will fall into place.

How do you give back?

I am a board member for Single Mom Scholars-Houston, and my wife and I are a mentor couple for engaged couples in our church.
