Joseph Ladner

As a financial advisor in Athens, I am very fortunate to get to do what I love while making a significant impact in a positive and tangible way in my clients' lives. Looking out for our clients' best interest is the heartbeat of our branch and our number one concern.

The first question I ask my clients is, "what brings you joy in life?" That's the basis for a personalized financial strategy that is uniquely tailored to each client's needs.

What brings me joy is my beautiful family, church and my community. My wife, Kelcy, and our children (Shawn, Elias, and Reagan) attend Ascension Life Church in Athens. Our other areas of involvement and interest include golfing, kayaking, traveling and local community groups that are important us.

I am a graduate of Bryan College with a Bachelor of Science in human resources and finance, as well as a Master of Business Administration in marketing.
