I am an independent financial advisor and wealth manager with more than 12 years' experience. Over the years, I noticed that many larger broker dealers who owned their own products often recommended them without consideration of competitive products and services. That's why I made the decision to move to an independent broker dealer. With my industry experience, financial MBA, undergraduate degree in psychology, and a drive to provide personalize and distinct recommendations, my clients know they can depend on a carefully crafted plan to pursue their financial goals without the product-focused approach of larger companies. As an independent financial advisor, I am proud to manage the wealth for individuals who are professionals or executives in manufacturing, transportation/logistics, pharmaceuticals, and medical device industries. Wealth management services include managing investments, financial and estate planning strategies, and risk management planning. I also help businesses and employers manage their retirement plans through plan design, platform selection, financial wellness classes, and executive benefits. I live in Hernando, MS with my wife, two daughters, two dogs, two birds, and a cat. When I am not managing the practice, I enjoy golfing, running, hiking, camping, and fishing with my family.
We invite you to discover and experience the power of our services. We believe it has far-reaching benefits for our clients to get opinions from several sources with diverse backgrounds, education, and experience.

Growing up in the Lone Star State, Travis learned the meaning of hard work at an early age. Patching fence and feeding cows, Travis spent his childhood as a ranch hand helping his dad maintain 800 acres beneath the sweltering Texas sun. Cowboy boots and blue jeans were not only functional--they were necessary protection from thorns, ticks, and every other "challenge of nature" that ranch work presented!
Travis began his financial planning career with SageSpring. After marrying his college sweetheart, Travis saw an unfulfilled need in East Tennessee, so he started his own branch in Knoxville to serve the city and the surrounding communities. Travis' true calling is working directly with clients, helping them plan their financial futures in a manner that aligns with their values and ensures their families will be confident in their finances. To help meet these goals, Travis leads Cullman Wealth Team and incorporates the expertise of attorneys, accountants, and other professionals to provide exceptional service and advice. In order to meet the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in the industry, Travis is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner*. Travis enjoys working with fellow Dave Ramsey fans and supporting Financial Peace University coordinators. Travis and his wife, Rebekah, live in Knoxville and are active members of their local church. They are enthusiastic fans of Dave Ramsey and the broader message of financial literacy and behavioral change pioneered by Ramsey Solutions. Travis' work and personal life are both guided by his faith and the Christian principles of honesty, generosity, compassion, and integrity. Outside of work, Travis enjoys music, football, fishing, woodworking, and spending time with his wife and three young children, Bryan, Brynleigh, and Tyler.
SageSpring Wealth Partners operates as a family. Through our broker-dealer, Raymond James, we have the support of a large company, while offering you the intimate service of a small firm. We build our relationships through trust. Over time, we come together to serve you in your pursuit of financial independence and a plan for the future.
