The Blue Financial team believes you deserve a financial plan built on a foundation of smart simplicity. Our 5-step proprietary "Retirement Blueprint Process" starts with a dream, followed by a plan to make it happen. Our methods are focused on achieving your goals because that's the only benchmark that matters.

About Blue Financial

We work for our CLIENTS not a company. Blue Financial is built upon developing a stable, independent retirement for you. It's not just our job--it's our passion. Putting clients first and setting ourselves apart from industry norms is our number one priority. We take a look at one aspect most advisors rarely do: taxes. At Blue, we take a distinctly unique approach to investment management and financial planning centered on strategies for creating potentially tax-free investments and efficient distribution of income in retirement. This specialized focus puts us in the position to work with and advise individuals, even those who already have an advisor without affecting their current relationship. If a majority of your money is in retirement plans like 401(k)s or IRAs then your income at retirement is taxable. Our attention to critical tax strategies helps our clients prepare to have tax free assets at retirement thus further protecting their life's work and savings. Our methods are focused on achieving your goals because that's the only benchmark that matters!

“Since 1996, I’ve enjoyed working with individuals and families who are interested in organizing, preserving, and growing their personal wealth. Some clients need help simply organizing and reviewing current investments while others benefit from a detailed retirement income strategy. Whatever your needs may be, you’ll find comfort in knowing that you don’t have to do it all by yourself.

Professionally trained as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Practitioner (CFP^®), and having a formal education that includes an MBA in Finance, I am positioned to help clients wisely manage the complexities involved in simplifying their investment decisions.”

Originally from Lancaster, SC, Craig has been a resident of Charlotte, NC since 2000. Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his wife, Amy, and children Nicholas, Jonathan and Elizabeth. His hobbies include golf, travel, reading, and Crossfit.

Jeff was destined for a career in finance. His grandmother, whom he describes as an independent thinker, is credited with piquing his interest in investments during his time in high school. After earning his degree in business law & finance from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, he devoted himself to helping people with their financial plans and investments. He co-founded BMH Investment Group in 1998 and later merged with U.S. Financial Services. Even after completing his formal education and earning one of the most respected designations in the industry, Jeff continues to devote himself to personal development and continuing education. It is a priority for him to be knowledgeable about financial planning strategies and solutions for his clients, staying at the forefront of his field. Jeff's clients love his energetic and personal approach. While relatively young by comparison to many advisors in the industry, he is both relevant and highly experienced after three decades as a finance professional. Born in Alaska, Jeff has spent the majority of his life in the Charlotte area and remains heavily involved in his community. He gives back by partnering with local charities like Habitat for Humanity and Angels & Sparrows. Jeff has always loved sports and stays active by completing CrossFit workouts, playing volleyball and doing yoga. He is a fierce supporter of his own teenage daughters in their college, beach volleyball and other activities.
