Franklin, Tennessee—Southwestern Investment Group, an independent wealth management company based in Franklin, Tennessee, is excited to announce the launch of three new wealth teams. Accomplished financial advisors Timothy Johnson, David Hayes, and James Ridley each previously worked within the Southwestern family of advisors. They are now expanding into solo advisory roles by launching their own wealth teams, a path taken by many Southwestern Investment Group advisors.
Timothy Johnson, an Indiana native, joined and helped build the Travis Cullman Wealth Team in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2017. David Hayes, an Alabama native who was once a client of Southwestern Investment Group, joined the Jesse Scroggins Wealth Team in Birmingham in 2018. James Ridley, a Kentucky native and a Belmont University graduate, joined the Deering Wealth Team in Franklin, Tennessee in 2018.
These talented advisors are in the process of building their own teams in Knoxville, Birmingham, and Franklin, respectively. A testament to Southwestern Investment Group’s commitment to providing advisors with growth opportunities, Johnson, Hayes, and Ridley all began their careers working within preexisting teams. They utilized the company’s focus on mentorship and multiple development opportunities to achieve their goals of leading teams of their own. Prior to starting out on their own, these advisors had the privilege of working under and learning from some of the most successful advisors in their areas.
President of Southwestern Investment Group, Jeff Dobyns, has navigated the company on a foundation of mentorship and growth, providing teams with the resources they need to achieve their personal and professional goals. “I am proud of these advisors for their dedication to our company and our clients. They deserve every bit of success and recognition coming their way. I know great things lie ahead for each of them,” Dobyns shared. Johnson, Hayes, and Ridley will each continue to assist their clients with the high-quality service that they have come to know and expect.
