Will Bratton 

Wealth Advisor, SageSpring | Financial Professional, RJFS 

Will Bratton joined SageSpring Wealth Partners in January of 2016. For three years, he partnered with his mentor, Michael Purifoy, CPA, CFP®, to help provide clients with the comprehensive financial expertise that has helped make SageSpring one of the top-producing branches of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.

Will works diligently with his clients to create comprehensive financial plans focused on sound investing principles, advanced long-term tax planning strategies, proper risk management, and estate planning. Will’s desire is to serve his clients with the heart of a teacher, educating them on strategies designed to provide confidence and help build generational wealth.

Will is focused on building long-term relationships to help his clients navigate the complicated decisions that need to be made on the journey to achieving their financial independence. Will currently holds the Series 7 and Series 66, as well as Life, Health, and Annuity licenses.

Will was born and raised in the Nashville area and is a graduate of Brentwood High School (‘02). He obtained his bachelor’s degree from the University of Evansville (’06). He holds a Master’s of Sport Administration from Belmont University (’07).

Prior to returning to Nashville in the summer of 2015, Will spent eight years in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. His career began in the sports industry with the unique opportunity to work with the PGA TOUR and The First Tee, a non-profit youth development organization dedicated to positively impacting young lives through the game of golf.

Will was involved in various roles with the organization, including working with PGA TOUR events and other third-party sponsors to expand The First Tee National School Program to thousands of elementary school students across the country. During his last two years with The First Tee, Will was responsible for developing relationships with high capacity donors, inspiring them to support The First Tee’s mission.

Working in the non-profit sector provided Will with invaluable experiences in working with a diverse group of people to achieve a common goal. These experiences taught Will that the most effective way to inspire is through dedication to serving others by forming and maintaining meaningful, positive relationships. Will continues to take this approach, building long-term relationships with his clients.

In his free time, you can find Will on the golf course, looking for his golf ball in the woods. He and his wife, Graham, also a Nashville native, enjoy trying the newest restaurants around town, as well as attending Vandy baseball and basketball games. Their daughter, Harper, arrived in February, 2019. They are active members at Christ Presbyterian Church in Brentwood, TN. Will serves on the board of Harvest Hands Community Development Center, an organization that serves as a catalyst for Christ-centered, holistic community development in South Nashville.

Jeffrey T. Dobyns

President, SageSpring | Financial Advisor, RJFS

Jeff Dobyns has enjoyed extraordinary success providing comprehensive financial planning to retirees, entrepreneurs, entertainers, and executives by taking the time to truly know his clients, understand their goals and develop and execute their ongoing, strategic, financial plans.

Jeff earned his finance degree in business administration from Ohio University and has held executive positions with financial planning firms for more than two decades. After serving as Vice President of Investments of Lykins Financial Group, CPA’s, in his hometown of Westerville, Ohio, Jeff moved to Nashville, Tennessee to found SageSpring Wealth Partners in 2002. As its President, Jeff has led SageSpring to remarkable success, holding the distinction of being one of Raymond James’ top independent contractor offices, and a member of its Chairman’s Council*, every year since 2008.

Jeff’s true calling, however, is working directly with clients, helping them plan their financial futures in a manner that aligns with their values and helps provide them with financial confidence. To help meet these goals, Jeff leads the team of Dobyns Wealth Team and also incorporates the expertise of attorneys, accountants and other professionals to provide quality financial, tax and estate planning, and ongoing asset and risk management.

As independent advisory businesses, neither SageSpring Wealth Partners nor Dobyns Wealth Team hold any assets on behalf of clients, with such custodial and brokerage services being provided by Raymond James. As a leader in wealth management, Raymond James has an exemplary reputation and today serves more than $930 billion in client assets through 8,200 financial advisors worldwide (as of 9/30/2020).

In order to meet the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in the industry, Jeff is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM practitioner**, a Chartered Life Underwriter and a Chartered Financial Consultant. Jeff is also a participant of the Dave Ramsey SmartVestor program.

Jeff’s work and personal life are both guided by his faith and the Christian principles of honesty, generosity, compassion, and integrity. Accordingly, Jeff devotes considerable time and resources to a number of causes, including serving as a board member of Men of Valor, a prison ministry and mentoring program. He is also on the advisory board of The Signatry of Middle Tennessee, which works with families to increase their charitable giving to their favorite causes. Additionally, Jeff is on the advisory board for Halftime Institute, an organization that coaches marketplace leaders to discern and engage in their life purpose. Lastly, Jeff serves on the board of the Legacy Center of Nashville, a collaboration of independent coaching resources. He is a past board member of Porter’s Call, a Nashville charity that provides free counseling for musicians and their families, and the Martha O’Bryan Center, which empowers those in poverty to transform their lives through work, education, employment, and fellowship.

Jeff and his wife, Amy, are raising their family in Brentwood where they are members of the Brentwood Baptist Church, and their children, Gracyn, Hunter, and twins Tanner and Logan, attend the Christ Presbyterian Academy. For recreation, Jeff enjoys hunting, fishing and just being outdoors.
