Biography


Carl, the main contact for Nashville area clients, started playing music professionally in college while studying business and accounting. After graduating with a business degree, he went to work for FGG until his band was signed to a national recording contract in 2001. Carl toured the country extensively and had several successful radio singles, all the while working for FGG on his days at home until moving to Nashville in 2003. The band disbanded in 2004 and Carl took a job in A&R at EMI Music (Now Capitol Records) in Nashville. Throughout his time in Nashville, Carl also focused on songwriting as well as doing financial planning for producers, artists, and entertainment professionals. In 2005, he and his wife Kristin moved back to Tampa where he served as the Creative Arts Pastor and Finance Director at Relevant Church in Ybor City (Tampa). In 2016, Carl came back to the family business as the VP of Planning and Coaching. He received his Certificate in Financial Planning from Belmont University and successfully challenged the CFP® exam to become a Certified Financial Planner™ professional. In 2021, he received his Certificate in Digital Assets from RIADAC and the New York institute of Finance. Carl and Kristin have two daughters, Aubrey and Adelie, and live in Franklin, TN. Carl’s expertise and experience allow him to give a unique perspective as he provides financial planning for the creative community and beyond.
